Here is another free Knitting Pattern that I designed to show off that sparkly sock yarn we all love so much. It was my second Shawl design ever and I am sharing it for free with you here :) I would love for you to knit my shawl and share it on Ravelry by linking to the pattern page. Thank you and happy knitting.
