Introduction

Shawls are endlessly versatile. They can be worn to add warmth on a cool day, yet their practicality doesn’t stop them from being fashionable or exciting. They can come in virtually any size or shape. There are no limitations as to which techniques or stitch patterns can be used or combined. They are meant to be worn, but they are not dependent upon a perfect fit. What is there not to love about shawls?
