This is a great shawl to keep your shoulders warm whether you wear it to dress up with, or dress down. I used one of our Astral yarns by The Alpaca Yarn Company, a blend of alpaca, wool, and tencel. The color I chose is Aquarius.
This pattern was designed by Tammy Hildebrand for Red Heart.
The photo session that followed was almost as fun as crocheting the shawl!
Ariella takes a closer look!
