Join us all on June 1st and cast on your April Fool Shawl! I’ll be hosting the #aprilfoolshawlkal on Instagram during the month of June, and there will be a prize giveaway for those who complete their shawls.

I designed this piece to be many things: a triangle shawl, a wrap, a small throw blanket for traveling. There were also elements that I threw in just because I know what I love and what makes me happy: a bright speckled skein of yarn, a contrasting neutral, eyelets, stripes, stretchy airy fabric, and fun tassels.

Let this simple and fun design be your relaxation knit, your selfish knit, your luxurious knit. Don’t be afraid to mix and match those special skeins hiding in your stash, or treat yourself to something new that is exactly what you want.
