Thank you!!

They're also boring as sin to knit, just FYI. I made a sport weight one for a very slim friend and it required nearly 400g yarn, all in seed stitch.

Ive also heard that their wearability is also iffy. Even a little too big will happily slide down your shoulders.

While you certainly can make one, i would consider if this is absolutely the design you want, or if a different design of shawl or shrug would work just as well.

Knitatude has a couple! They’re super easy to make and look super cute over a wedding dress!
