My Summer Song is a fun to knit crescent shaped shawl worked in garter stripes, which open up in various spots to play with different lace and multiple coloured crescent inserts.

It’s a perfect project for using up small leftovers, partial skeins or those cute little mini-skeins.

It is a crescent shaped shawl which is knitted top-down in one piece from the centre out. Pattern is fully written out as well as charted.

Did you enjoy knitting my Take It All pattern? Then you will love this one also. It is based on that idea but developed further and taken into a different shape.

So, grab your miniskeins or leftovers, go as colourful or subtle as you like, and combine them in this large & cosy wrap!
