The Big Fluff
Purchase of this pattern includes both The Big Fluff Shawl and The Big Fluff Cowl
The Big Fluff Shawl, which is knit in Dimond Laine Birdie, is incredibly lightweight and has texture for days! Knit bottom up on large needles at an exaggerated super fun gauge, this shawl will take you no time at all to knit! The airy gauge means this shawl is big on impact without that super bulky feeling around your neck. There is something about large fluffy stockinette stitches that are so chic to me. Use this shawl as a catalyst to pull together any outfit! Whether knit in one of Dimond Laine’s bright neons or moody neutrals, this shawl is guaranteed to keep you warm and cozy all season long.
