Pointille

Pointillé Designed by Rachel Brockman Named after a form of surface decoration, the aptly named Pointillé Shawl is dotted with rich, textural stitch patterns throughout. Contrasting stripes break up the body of the shawl and a tidy trim in a natural color finishes the piece. Deluxe Worsted Superwash makes this woolly accessory a satisfyingly quick knit you’ll love to wear.
