Seaside Summer Shawl Knitting Pattern


My Seaside Shawl knitting pattern is ready!  I really enjoyed designing this shawl for the warmer months.  Super easy and only requires 2 skeins.  

I’m often chilly in the summertime when at the office, a restaurant, the shops, movie theatre, doctor office or even someones house. I designed this shawl for just such an occasion.
Gorgeous colors of the sea really pop using gradient yarn and the easy pattern makes for a very satisfying project.
If you have 580 yards/530m of DK weight (3) yarn in your stash you can make this for yourself or as a gift. I’ve added store bought beads to add some interest and a little weight to both ends. You can certainly use pony beads or ready made trim that have beads already on it. Tassels with the leftover yarn would be nice as well.
This is basic knitting, back and forth on straight needles, not a purl in sight! If you can knit, yarn over and slip one, you can make this.
Measurements: 17 “ W x 60” L (43cm W x 152cm L)
Skill level: easy: basic stitches, minimal shaping, simple finishing. I'm always available to help you along the way!

Have a great weekend,
Sheila

Purls of Wisdom:
When choosing beads or charms for a project, keep in mind the weight of the yarn AND the weight of the beads.  Too heavy a bead or too many beads will distort the stitches.  Plastic beads are relatively light compared to glass or metal.

  2. That is a beautiful shawl pattern! I love the beads at the ends! I often am cold in the summer too...strange how we wait for heat all year in Maine, just to push it out with the a/c once it finally arrives :-)
