Pawleys Island is a place to get away and unwind. This shawl resulted when I needed something relaxing but not boring to knit because life got a little too crazy. Bands of stockinette and garter stitch are separated by eyelets. Scrumptious yarn makes the simple sublime and gives you a perfect shawl for chilly evenings on the beach, or chilly evenings when you wish you were at the beach :)

I’m a big fan of getting the hard stuff out of the way up front while you have that new-project momentum - top-down sweaters, bottom-up shawls. Starting at the bottom edge means the rows get shorter and shorter so it seems like you pick up speed as you go.

Make it smaller by knitting in a lighter weight yarn at a tighter gauge or by leaving out the first two sections.

A fingering-weight version can be knit at 18 stitches/4” on US 5/3.75 mm and US 6/4 mm. This version uses approximately 900 yards and measures 72” in wingspan and 36” deep. (Shown in the last two photos.)

Skills required:
• Decreasing
• Double yarn overs
• Slipping stitches
