Whenever the temperature reaches an all-time low, there is no better knitted accessory than the shawl. When I was younger, most of my shawls were for fancy occasions. However, as I have gotten older, I have been introduced to simply comfy shawls that are perfect for those lazy days when I don’t want to do anything but lounge around at home.
Winter is coming. With it, is the demand for more layers. Imagine this: you’re at home relaxing with a steaming cup of hot chocolate in your hands. Your legs are already being kept warm and toasty with a lovely knit afghan (that you made yourself, of course). Why not complete this relaxing scene with a nice, cozy knit shawl to wrap around your shoulders and stave off the surrounding chill? Winter shawls differ greatly from the shawls of the spring and summer months. There’s no longer a need for light yarns and lacy patterns. Instead, we reach for the bulkier yarns and search for patterns with more close-knit stitches.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that we lose the beautiful femininity of the warm weather shawls when winter comes around. In fact, it’s just the opposite. You can still take the world by storm with your fashionable accessories while keeping nice and warm—especially if you knit them yourself. So, get your needles ready and prepare your wardrobe for the coming storm with one of these fashionable yet incredibly cozy knit shawls… You won’t want to pack them away when winter is over!
