Sofie Ann was my sweet little grey cat and knitting buddy. After losing her I needed something to wrap around me for comfort. From her memories this shawl was born and just like her this shawl has subtle stripes, a bit of fun around the edges, incredibly warm, squishy and oh so snuggly. The small size was designed for on the go and the large size is perfect to cuddle with on couch during those cold nights. Customize this design by making your stripes subtle or bold, use 3 colors or 4, or use darker colors for the stripes and a lighter color for the lace. Play around with it and have fun!

Gauge is not crucial for this project, but changes might result in a larger/smaller shawl which may change the amount of yarn required.
