Farewell Summer
This was originally designed as a small, single DK skein kerchief. Using worsted weight and size 8 needle will yield a larger shawlette, and use 2 skeins of yarn.
Gauge for DK yarn: 25 st x 32 rows = 4”, unblocked
Gauge for Worsted yarn: 20 st x 26 rows = 4”, unblocked
The dandelion motif has always made me think of Ray Bradbury and his novels, notably Dandelion Wine and it’s sequel, Farewell Summer.
This themed shawlette features dandelions up the border, and a textured body reminiscent of dandelion seeds blown into the wind as you make a wish, transitioning into eyelets near the top. An i-cord edge and bind off wrap around the entire piece.
