The Bao Bao Shawl is a colourful shawl that’s an easy introduction into colourwork. It comes in one size, but can easily be adjusted to suit your preferences. It uses a slip stitch technique to create fun scallop shapes, and it works up beautifully in our Merino Linen.
You’ll find our project details on Ravelry, along with a link to Isabell Kraemer’s pattern page to purchase the pattern.

We’ve taken the stress out of project planning by working out how much yarn you’ll need this project. This is calculated based on the meterage/yardage given by the pattern. The shawl comes in one size only.
Our Merino Linen comes in skeins, so add a note before you checkout if you’d like us to wind the skeins into balls for you.
