Making this shawl feels like taking a breath of fresh air and so we named it the 'Pranayama Shawl'. 'Pranayama' is Sanskrit for 'Breath Work'. By alternating between needle sizes and using yarn overs for increases we have created a shawl that not only helps you breathe easy, but has a nice light and airy feel. It's perfect for cool summer nights, and autumn days. Wear it layered over a shift dress or as a comfort piece in a meditation class. We knit this shawl with one skein of 100% organic cotton yarn from Handspun Hope. But if you would like a larger shawl, simply join a second skein and just keep knitting!
