Stacking Triangles Shawl
You're going to love the Stacking Triangles Shawl, an easy crochet pattern that uses less than two skeins of Lion Brand Mandala Ombre Yarn.
It's a crochet pattern that combines beginner-friendly basic stitches like double crochet, chains and single crochet, while creating a fun and interesting look. The shawl is made with really easy stitch repeats, which makes it a lovely mindless project for those times you need your focus elsewhere.
This shawl is great with any outfit, anything from dresses to jeans, and can be worn as a shawl over your shoulders or more as a cowl around your neck. You'll wear this airy shawl all year-round.
