Sofa Scarf or Comfort Shawl

Design by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.

This project is perfect for laying across the back of your sofa to add a warm and homey look. If you get chilly, it easily transforms into a shawl to wrap around YOU while you’re sitting on the sofa! You can make it in your own combination of three colors, to coordinate with your decor or to contrast.
