The Feather Buttery Shawl is the 10th Butterfly shawl in the series. This one has the butterfly theme as it’s stitch. A shawl made of butterflies! Bunches of little butterflies! The end result looks like feathers, so this is why I called this one the Feather Butterfly Shawl. For the pattern I am referring to the little butterflies as shells so not to confuse you.
My family really loves the look of this one, I didn’t even have to ask what they thought of it. They just saw it and went Wow! Which is amazing for me to hear considering this is the 10th one in the series so I wanted it to be a special one.
I really hope you like this one too. It’s an easy repeat just like all the Butterfly shawls. You’ll have to make slight adjustments to make it keep growing correctly but the adjustments are easy to do. No markers needed on this Butterfly Shawl either. It really is that easy!
