Making Comfort
Designed by: Jill Zielinski
The Making Comfort shawl is a classic top-down, triangular shawl. Rows of relaxing garter stitch are broken up with a simple, easy-to-memorize textural stitch, and the piece is finished with a clean, ribbed border. Knit in our Heritage DK—a light, lofty yarn spun from 100% Targhee-Polypay wool—it offers beautiful body and bounce, making for a cozy, wearable shawl that’s as comforting to knit as it is to wrap up in.
