Perpetual Hope
Ready to take on an epic project? The Perpetual Hope wrap delivers just what you need during busy seasons: lots of meditative garter goodness with an interesting construction twist every once in a while. Designed to make the most of your minis, this shawl looks stunning in a gradient or with random color placement – the overall effect is up to you. Now let’s settle into some restorative knitting!
Originally designed for the Queen City Yarn Home Alone-themed Advent box, this shawl is named Perpetual Hope because of a certain scene in the movie – check it out at https://youtu.be/1_l1VtpSnKI!
