Montgomery Street Bandana Shawl Free Crochet Pattern

This Montgomery Street Shawl is a special free pattern and perfect if you ever need a quick project on the go. If you saw Kristy Glass at the Rhinebeck Yarn Bazaar or her video then you are familiar with this shawl as she rocked it at the first Rhinebeck Yarn Bazaar. She had another shawl planned but wanted more of a bandana inspired vibe so when she texted me DAYS BEFORE the event I said, sure I am up to the challenge! Read the full behind the scenes story and all the fun here or just scroll on down to get to the pattern and make yourself a beautiful Montgomery Street Bandana Shawl.
