Mutsch shawl by Isabell Kraemer

Isabell launched the pattern for this shawl last year. When knitted in 8ply Āhuru merino/possum you will get a soft, lovely shawl that will warm you like a big hug! And of course you will get the stunning halo, the signature of Āhuru!

Want to knit our version? There are kits here in the shop.
