Shawls are not just an airy material to put around your shoulders on a chilly summer evening. There are also warm and comfortable winter and autumn ones – these are the ones that I love the most!
They can be made of a cosy, thick yarn and many vivid colors – they give energy to your outfit and to your everyday struggles. Especially autumn is rich in colors, usually shades of brown, orange, green, grey and beige. The size of the shawl can be different depending on the style and purpose; it can be just to cover your neck or it can be more alike a poncho. Inspirations are everywhere! Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
