To really understand the beautiful roots of Hapa read this

Hapa is available in 3 sizes for an array of simple impact. Choose your size, choose your colours and enjoy the story you knit for yourself!

Colour changes are simple enough for a novice knitter to try.
The shawl bottom is also effortless to create no matter where you are in your knitting adventure.

Pattern includes helpful tutorials to get you off to a beautiful start as well as brilliant finish.

The smallest Hapa was intentionally created with Quinghai Handspun. Qinghai Handspun is made by the women of the Qinghai Spinner’s Cooperative. The Cooperative was founded by social-venture Shokay in 2010, and provides much-need income and jobs for rural Tibetan women in China’s Qinghai Province. The smallest size Hapa allows knitters a great opportunity regardless of their skill level to make a beautiful hand knit out of handspun yarn to cherish!
Pattern includes a video tutorial for all key components to knitting the shawl. This makes it easy for even new knitters to try something different while keeping it simple with lots of garter.
