Pink Icing

Pink Icing is the perfect topping to any outfit. Working from side to side, this shawl can be adjusted in length quickly and easily just by adding or removing repeats on either side of the center. And what I think is truly the “icing” on the shawl is that you are working both the main body and edging at the same time. This means that you only have just a few ends to weave in when you are done. SCORE!

I chose a yarn with Cashmere to add warmth for fall and even winter months, you could easily use a fingering weight with some cotton, linen or even silk for the perfect summer shawl too. Your options are endless when you get to choose the color of your icing!
