Product Details

My dad always loved to wander around with a blanket on his shoulders, even after my parents moved to Florida. He always said it just felt cozy. What he didn’t love was that rectangular blankets would always slip off his shoulders, because shoulders just are NOT very rectangular! So I designed a shoulder blanket for him (we definitely never called his a shawl!), so it would stay put.

(I made mine in shades of pink, but I’ve also made the photo black and white so you can imagine this in shades of gray. Dad’s was nautical blue and green.)

There’s no fancy stitching here, just rows of a very simple linked variation of double crochet stitches. The LDC sts lend a bit of texture interest without making it frilly, meaning that this is something anyone could be happy to be “caught” wearing! Making this in an easy care, washable and dryable yarn is important, because this one is going to be used constantly, it’s not just a special occasion item!
