When you’re on the hunt for fall and winter accessories, it doesn’t get more basic than a classic crochet shawl. They’re effortless to style – just throw one on top of whatever you’re wearing! – and when it comes to easy crochet patterns, they’re some of the simplest to work up! I’ve made it my […]
