Lake Chargoggag Shawl

This is a top down, beginner wrap/shawl/capelet that can be wrapped around you a multitude of ways or folded in half & worn as a scarf. You start at the top & increase every row until you get to almost your desired length & width, & then work the border. I made my sample in Lion Brand Lion Wool Solid, a 100% wool yarn that is listed as an aran weight, but any yarn/hook combination would work. It would also look lovely in a variety of stripes to use up your leftovers!

The full name of this shawl actually is Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, a local lake near where I live. Most people call it Webster Lake, but us crazy “townies” enjoy spitting out the whole name to impress people. For ease in talking about the shawl, I decided to just shorten the name a bit. This shawl is related to, but is a bigger version of my “[Webster Lake Shawl][1]” - hence the two related, but different names.
