Splish Splash
This shawl with its frivlous candy edging brings to mind poolside fun, water and summer deserts, as well as rainbows, which just so happen to also appear when the water gets splish-splashed and sprayed about!
Enjoy life’s summer while you can and remember:
Life is uncertain, eat dessert first!
Splish Splash is a shawl with a fun and frilly brioche knit edge. All the stitches needed have explanations and linked video tutorials and you are only required to do a few brioche decreases here, the rest of the pattern is all regular knitting!
Slip stitches and a fancy looking Estonian lace increase happen all before the brioche fun begins!
The top down shawlette is just the right size to sit on your shoulder and to be fun to knit, yet remains protable, for that poolside vacation knitting!
Use #SplishSplashShawl when sharing your progress on Ravelry and online, I love to see what everyone is making!
