Discover the popp:y shawl, a beautifully designed triangular shawl that is perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. This stunning piece is crafted by casting on just 3 stitches and incorporating slanted increases, such as kfbfs (knit front and back) and decreases, to create a graceful triangular shape. The shawl features two pattern sections, allowing you to enjoy its stylish appearance without having to display the wrong side when wrapped around you.
