| Description | The Saturday Morning Shawl is inspired by those nostalgic mornings spent cozying up on the couch, eating cereal, and watching cartoons as a kid. The various stitch patterns and yarns used in the shawl are meant to evoke the 90s and staticky/glitchy TVs. Get comfy, pop on your favorite childhood show, and let the nostalgia guide you through this radical knit! 🤙🧶🤘 This is a semi-circular shawl that starts with an i-cord cast on and is worked outward in various stitch patterns, ending with a chevron border. |
