May Day Shawl
May weather can be a bit unpredictable. Spring blooms and bold streams of sunlight always give me a false sense of security about the temperature outside; there’s nothing quite like wearing your summer clothes a few weeks too early. The May Day Shawl celebrates the beauty of spring color while guarding against days that end up being chillier than expected. The texture repeat is ridiculously easy to memorize and so fun to knit you may want to cast on another one as soon as you finish!
Knit diagonally from the side corner to the far edge, May Day is a steady, rhythmic project with all-over texture. The color changes are worked every second row once the pattern repeats begin, making it easy to switch between colors and carry the second color up the side. This means you’ll have fewer ends to weave-in—quite a time-saver!
