Prairie Knit Shawl Pattern

Embrace that prairie style! This free knit shawl pattern can be worn looped around like a scarf or draped like a traditional shawl. The eyelets created by this pattern are so pretty, and the edging is simply charming. The blue yarn used for this pattern is so fitting for the prairie! Pair this shawl with a lacy top and a denim jacket for that girly, farm-girl flair. Boots with fringe and your favorite pair of jeans really complete this outfit. Imagine sitting on the porch with this shawl draped around your shoulders, taking the world in. This is a beautiful project to make and to wear!
