I designed the Engomnt Shawl free shawl using Swish DK from We Crochet. This yarn is made of high grade merino and machine washable. I love that it comes in so many colors. I used Forest Heather and Dove Heather but you can have fun playing with different color combinations. 

Below you’ll find the free pattern. I also filmed an in-depth video tutorial.
