King Louie by Norichan Knits. King Louie is an asymmetric shawl worked in two colors of fingering weight yarn. It showcases handpainted colors beautifully. It is a great first time crocheted shawl, as it primarily uses double crochet (US terminology), and just a few other skills (such as increasing and decreasing)!
