Make the Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West (A great next step for beginners!)

The Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West is a great introduction to the patterns of this iconic designer. This straightforward triangular shawl is the perfect project for traveling or while relaxing at home or the beach! Once you get started, it is easy to memorize the construction. 

Worked in any weight yarn, but in a light fingering weight cotton or linen it's a perfect accessory to throw on for a cool summer night. Great next step project for beginners! 

Taught by Randi, students will learn simple pattern reading, shawl construction, make ones, yarn overs and Elizabeth Zimmerman's sewn bind off. 

This class meets over the course of two sessions, with plenty of time in between to make progress on your shawl:

Saturday, May 30th, 9:00-11:00am

Saturday, June 27th, 9:00-11:00am
