Happy Dance Shawl

The Happy Dance Shawl is a simple and sweet shawl perfect for relaxing, meditative knitting. Knit from the top down, this traditional triangle-shaped shawl combines knit and purl moss stitch with garter and ribbed rows, and a smooth and stretchy I-cord bind off. I designed this shawl to showcase the beautiful, and incredibly soft Catskill Merino wool yarn it is knit in. The combination of textures and easy stitches make the Happy Dance Shawl a joy to knit and wear!
