Desert Shawl

In Fingering weight yarn, Patterns, Shawls & Shawlettes, Shop sample available by Shannon

My husband’s family has a house in SE Utah, called Fort Abajo. We road-tripped there for Spring Break, and spent an amazing week gathering gorgeous rocks, hunting for dinosaur bones, and squinting into the sun. This shawl was the perfect accompaniment to a perfect Spring Break.
