Arena Shawl

Release date: April 23rd, 2026.

Level: Advanced Beginner

The Arena Shawl is a cozy, super bulky shawl designed to be simple, relaxing, and enjoyable to knit.

Worked from tip to center and finished with mirrored decreases, it creates a clean, balanced shape that feels both modern and effortless.

Knit entirely in garter stitch with a subtle one stitch edge, the texture of the yarn takes center stage, making it the perfect project to showcase Malabrigo Caracol yarn.

With just two skeins, Arena is a quick and satisfying knit, ideal for a weekend project or a thoughtful handmade gift.
