The Amanda Shawl is a wonderfully simple layering piece that proves the most effective designs are often the easiest to sew. Created from a large rectangular shape, this elegant shawl drapes beautifully over the shoulders, adding warmth, comfort and effortless style to any outfit.

Perfect for beginners, Amanda is a quick and satisfying project that works beautifully in a wide range of fabrics. Choose a cosy wool blend for cooler days, a quilted fabric for extra warmth, or a soft linen or jacquard for a lighter, more relaxed look. Whether worn at home, layered over everyday outfits or packed for travel, it's a versatile piece you'll reach for again and again.

Ciao Patterns are designed with clarity in mind. Each size is colour coded for easy tracing, while unique line styles ensure sizes remain easy to distinguish when printed in black and white.
