Additionally, depending on your yarn stash, you can conveniently add or remove sections to customize the size of the shawl, whether you want it larger for wrapping up cozily or smaller for a stylish accessory. This flexibility makes it a versatile addition to your collection.
The pattern includes both charted and full written instructions, catering to your preferred knitting style and ensuring you have all the guidance you need to create your masterpiece.
