We fell in love with Bossa Nova when it first arrived in our shop. It's soft, squishy, and has an amazing color palette of solids and variegated shades that coordinate so well with each other. We've put together 6 patterns we love (including an exclusive shawl pattern designed by Circulo for The Woolery!) AND done-for-you math to weave a scarf!
Patterns
1. Feline Shawl (Knit) - Woolery exclusive!
We are so excited to share this pattern the folks at Circulo designed just for us to share with our Fiber Flock!

- Remove the scarf from the loom, leaving about 6" of unwoven warp on either side for fringe. Twist bundles of 2 working ends together in each clip of the fringe twister, then let them twist together to create twisted bundles of 4 total ends. (or whichever finishing method you prefer).
We can't wait to see all your Bossa Nova creations!
