Stargazer Shawl

$10 CAD

Wrap yourself in this beautiful shawl and head out to gaze at the night skies. Perfect for cool evenings in any season and made all the more scrumptious with a cup of hot cocoa in front of the fire, indoors or out. Made from cozy worsted weight yarn, this shawl can be knit up quickly: in less time than it takes the moon to go from waxing to first quarter!

Whether you are a new or seasoned knitter, this is sure to be a classic piece in your wardrobe!
