It’s that time again for another fun and elegant project. Project #2 is all about feeling and looking elegant with a timeless shawl. Since it’s for a Christmas Project, I decided to use Shawl in a Cake by Lion Brand. The colorway Namaste Neutrals which has a little sparkle and shine to it makes the Soft Pebble Shawl the perfect gift.

Since you’ve been waiting a couple of weeks for the announcement of this pattern, I’m going to give you the supply list along with the pattern with the exception of the edging. I thought this was a perfect compromise so you didn’t have to wait any longer. Now you can get started!
Don’t forget that you can catch up on ALL the 2018 Christmas Present Crochet-Along Projects on the Main Page!
