For my contribution to this blog hop, I designed the Lourdes Granny Stitch Shawl using King Cole Simply Denim DK yarn, a 50/50 cotton/acrylic blend denim-type yarn that is soft and squishy. Simply Denim DK is available at LoveCrafts | SewProCrafts or Knittingkit Creations on Etsy Amazon. I wanted a yarn that I would feel comfortable in year-round, and this yarn was the perfect choice!
I used 5502 Blue Denim as the Main Color and then alternated with stripes of 5507 Turquoise Denim and 5500 Pink Denim. I love how all three colors came together to make this granny stitch shawl.
