Get your shawl on with this pretty, worsted/aran weight number. To make it, you’ll need roughly 420 yards of yarn and a 32” or longer circular needle in size US 7 (or those funky straight needles with cord endings, for extra space. Sorry I don’t know what they’re called!).

Here is a pattern for a multi-textured, slouchy beanie, complete with a pompom on top (and yes, directions for the pompom, including photos, are included in the pattern). In order to knit it, you’ll need one 16” circular needle in size 6, as well as a set of double pointed needles, also in size 6. You will also need one skein of the Cascade Yar...
