Big, cozy, and finished with long fringe<\/strong>. Maxi shawls and wraps<\/strong> are back in the spotlight as a must-have accessory for the colder months. Wear them over your shoulders, wrapped around your neck, or even over your head like an oversized scarf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And if there\u2019s one detail that makes all the difference, it\u2019s XL fringe<\/strong>. Long, abundant, and, in some designs, especially soft and fluffy thanks to fuzzy yarns like mohair. The best part? This is a very easy trend to make yourself. Here are 7 Katia knitting and crochet shawl patterns<\/strong> that perfectly capture this look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maxi shawls with fringe: this winter\u2019s handmade trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shawls are getting bigger and becoming almost a garment in their own right. The idea is simple: more size, more coziness, and statement fringe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fringe adds movement<\/strong> and can completely transform a simple shawl. Add a fuzzy or fluffy yarn and you get the soft, airy finish<\/strong> we\u2019re seeing on so many winter accessories. Mohair<\/strong> is especially interesting for adding lightness and volume without making the piece look heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can also interpret this trend your own way. Make a simple knitted wrap<\/strong> in garter stitch, go for a large stockinette triangle, or recreate the look in crochet<\/strong> with openwork stitches and granny squares. You can even play with two colors or use a multicolor yarn to turn a simple construction into the main feature of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s one of the advantages of making it yourself<\/strong>: you choose the color, size, fringe length, and, of course, whether you prefer knitting or crochet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
