Peregrine Shawl

In Aran weight yarn, Bulky weight yarn, Patterns, Shawls & Shawlettes, Shop sample available, Worsted weight yarn by Shannon

The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird, and in fact the fastest animal on the planet, when in its hunting dive, called the stoop. It soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 200 mph. While I can’t guarantee quite that speed, it’s safe to say this shawlette worked in chunky weight yarn does knit up incredibly quickly. It’s a great last-minute knit for anyone on your list.
