Feel as warm this winter as you would on a palm lined beach when you wrap up in this palm leaf inspired, super sized shawl. Using very simple stitches, pattern and construction this shawl grows very quickly in the DK weight yarn making it great for gifting too.
Our sample uses 230g of DK for a real hug of a shawl but you can get a smaller shawl from 150g upwards., just keep crocheting until the shawl is the size you want or the yarn runs out.
