Cozy Striped Shawl Crochet Pattern

This shawl is soooo cozy … hence Cozy Striped Shawl Crochet Pattern. I just love the striking pops of blue! But don’t let the striping scare you off … there’s no color changing (or lots of ends to weave in!) because it’s all in the self-striping yarn. I used Caron Cakes for this one.
