Using up some wool

Tweet

From time to time over the years, I’ve been crocheting beanies for premature babies. I give them to my sister-in-law who gives them to a friend who takes them to the hospital. I have about six balls of baby wool that I’d got from an op shop (thrift store) and I was starting on more beanies when I got a message saying they had more than enough beanies and thank you, but don’t sent any more. I decided to use the wool to make a baby’s shawl. It’s a bit smaller than some shawls but still big enough to be useful. I judged the size very well as I had to unpick one beanie to get enough wool to finish the shawl. It’s a pretty colour but being blue, I guess it’s only really suitable for a boy. I particularly like the edging.
