Windswept Boomerang

Windswept Boomerang calls to that special skein of fingering/sock weight yarn and knitter looking for a fun and relaxing knit. Always enjoy the versatility of the boomerang shape, as it adds a bit of spontaneity to the day, whether worn as a shawl, wrap, or scarf...and always a favorite travel companion. Pattern is accessible to the novice and experienced knitter. Created on US 7 needles, it’s a satisfyingly quick knit...you'll have it blocking in no time. Professionally tech edited by Annie Lin.
