Cold Spell Shawl Pattern

This shawl is soft and warm, like a hug from a friend – the perfect choice for chilly days when you need something cozy over your shoulders. Inspired by an unexpected late frost last spring that brought a reminder of winter’s chill, this shawl was designed and knitted with warmth and care, offering just the right amount of softness and protection against the cold.

The shawl is also a suitable project for beginner knitters: the instructions are clear and easy to follow, while still allowing room for personal variations and adjustments. If you’d like a larger or smaller version, the pattern can be easily adapted to fit your needs. The pattern include detailed, step-by-step guidance to ensure your success – whether this is your first shawl project or one of many.

The knitting pattern is available in both Finnish and English.
