Pattern Inspiration
Note that these patterns and photos show the regular sized shawl balls. They would be larger in the new Yarn Bombs!
Medialuna Shawl by Tina Whitmore
The gorgeous striping effect on this shawl is a great way to play with gradients. By splitting the balls and playing with the color melts you get a gorgeously soft color story.
Antheraea by Heidi Schultz
Gentle miters and short rows come together in this shawl that works with the color to create beautiful texture. Wrap yourself in the giant wingspan of a Bomb-sized shawl. The pattern was originally designed for two shawl balls. It can be made with just one Yarn Bomb!
Fletchling by Tina Whitmore
Purl ridges, zig-zag fletch patterns, and ombre effects make this a stylish and fun shawl to wrap yourself in this fall. Use just one Yarn Bomb to make this shawl!
