Conceptually inspired by the in-betweens of places and people, the Betwixt Shawl is a top-down triangle shawl worked in garter stitch. The wide stockinette stitch center spine gives it that center focus, bringing both sides together.
This shawl was designed for mixing bases! The fabric is greater than the sum of its parts—the Elmer Tweed brings the texture, the Birdie the fluffy fun, and they come together to make an out-of-this-world fabric you’ll want to revisit time and time again.
