Banned Book Shelf Shawl

The 2022 Banned Books Advent set was used to design this shawl, reminiscent of a bookshelf with 12 banned books represented on the shelves. The wide garter edging adds to the coziness of the shawl. Didn’t get an advent? Use dk minis, or scrap yarn! You can knit this at any gauge with any yarn, just do a little math.
