Field shawl
Field Shawl is a beautifully designed triangle-shaped shawl featuring a captivating block pattern. As you work through the shawl, you will increase 4 stitches every other row, allowing you to easily adjust the size according to your personal preference by varying the number of repeats you make. The shawl is finished with a contrasting color edging, giving it a unique flair. You can also choose any yarn materials and weight that suit your style for this project, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. My inspiration for this lovely piece came from the lush fields filled with rice crops and golden wheat during the vibrant summer months. What would you love to cultivate in your own field?
