Mountains at Dusk Knit Shawl Pattern
This knitted wrap is a stunning way to accessorize your warm weather wardrobe.
The best part about knit shawl patterns such as the Mountains at Dusk Knit Shawl Pattern is just how gorgeous they look on anyone who chooses to wear them. Shawls add an element of elegance to just about any outfit, and help make a younger wardrobe feel much more mature... but not too mature. This knit shawl pattern is great for the warmer months because of its eyelet-heavy construction, but it would make a lovely kerchief-styled scarf for the winter, so you can wear it all year-round if you'd like.
