Design by Nailya Plaskey and Hand Knit by Kam

Save $2.50 on both Mad Libs shawls (Together Shawl and Gatherings Shawl) with coupon code MADLIBS

This shawl design is the result of a knitting Mad Libs game. We each designed a body for the shawl, then swapped projects and designed the edging for each other’s shawls. Nailya started with a stockinette stitch using the first color and an elegant detail with a contrasting color. Kam finished it with a lace mesh in the second color and a delicate picot bind-off to keep an airy and feminine look.
We hope you enjoy our collaboration! Choose two skeins of yarn to work with, and maybe swap your project midway with a friend.
