The colors in the sample shawl remind me of a relaxing afternoon at the beach and memories of eating saltwater taffy as a child - hence the name Saltwater Taffy Shawl.

This easily memorized pattern features bands of garter stitch, simple garter stripes, and a drop stitch border. This pattern contains a chart with stitch counts for each repeat, making it easy to track your progress. The finished Saltwater Taffy shawl is generously sized making it easy to style several different ways. Grab 2 contrasting skeins of fingering weight yarn, a set of 40” circular needles, and start knitting!
