Da Luxe is worked from the center out starting with a modular “modern quilt square”. Da Luxe is a big shawl and/or a long cozy blanket (a schlanket?)… I’ve been loving snugging up in it on my chaise! Da Luxe is designed to be worked with a 25 mini skein advent set. It is easy to stash dive and make your own, or work with an existing advent set.

We have a KAL for Da Luxe and Da Light in my Ravelry group! JOIN US!

More construction notes: After the center square is constructed wings are built off of it and shaped with a series of increases and decreases as slipped stitches migrate towards the outside edge of the wings. The pattern includes an extensive video tutorial and KAL support!
