Taking
inspiration from our our
coastal
love of holidays,
I
have developed the Coastal
Holiday
Shawl.
If the Coastal
Holiday
Shawl
is knit in a cotton blend, perfect for cool spring and summer
evenings. If knit in blended wool, great for the blustery winter.
The shawl is worked with 2
increases
on beginning
Right Side. The
eyelet and
swell
will be worked on the Wrong
Side, along
with
1
decrease,
creating an asymmetrical shawl. The
wave will be worked on the Wrong
Side along
with
bind-off
steps.
This might be considered an advance beginner pattern because
knowledge of stitch and shawl construction are helpful. The
shawl
takes a few evenings or weekends to complete, making the Coastal
Holiday
Shawl
a perfect gift or accessory.
