Nova Shawl

There is something addictive about dropped stitches – is it the delight of “growing” our project faster, or a naughty delight of dropping stitches on purpose?

A loose, drop stitch texture makes this light, cool summer shawl, and a striped yarn adds extra interest. Just knit away and let the stripes do the rest!

Makes a comfortable and cool summer wrap or cover-up, and doubles as a large scarf for indoor wear or later this fall…
