Halcyon is a word which means “happy, sunny and carefree” - the embodiment of summer days. This fun and flirty shawl is inspired by the magic of a colorful summer wildflower garden. It is lace-filled, lightweight, easy knitting at its best! An endless combination of different fingering weight yarns can be used to create a shawl that’s perfectly suited for your personal style! Try a colorful speckle yarn and a bright tonal yarn together - such as I have done with my sample - or substitute any number of variegated, solid, semi-solid or even self-striping yarns instead. This shawl is all about exploring your colorful creativity while enjoying carefree summer knitting!
