I’m often chilly in the summertime when at the office, a restaurant, the shops, movie theatre, doctor office or even someones house. I designed this shawl for just such an occasion.

Gorgeous colors of the sea really pop using gradient yarn and the easy pattern makes for a very satisfying project.

If you have 580 yards/530m of DK weight (3) yarn in your stash you can make this for yourself or as a gift. I’ve added store bought beads to add some interest and a little weight to both ends. You can certainly use pony beads or ready made trim that have beads already on it. Tassels with the leftover yarn would be nice as well.

This is basic knitting, back and forth on straight needles, not a purl in sight! If you can knit, yarn over and slip one, you can make this.
