Abuelito Shawl Sample

Description

Abuelito is a cozy, top-down triangle shawl designed by Melanie Berg and inspired by the timeless scarves tucked into a granddad’s wardrobe—practical, comforting, and quietly stylish. Finished with a rustic lace border, it’s an easy-to-wear layer that’s perfect for warding off chills on rainy evenings or brisk days, whether wrapped snugly around the neck or draped over the shoulders. The design truly shines in The Fibre Co.’s Arranmore Light yarn, a DK-weight blend of merino, cashmere, and silk that offers the ideal balance of warmth, softness, and structure. Thick and cozy without feeling heavy, this yarn enhances the subtle stitch pattern and lace edging while creating a shawl you’ll reach for again and again.

You can make your own version by purchasing the Abuelito pattern from Ravelry and Arranmore Light.
