I created this simple summer shawl for Darla – she loves to wear tank tops and sun dresses in the summer time…and her playtime now extends into the early evening hours.

This shawl serves 2 purposes:

1. it helps to keep the chill off her neck and shoulders

2. the yarn reflects light – to make her more visible in the early evening (i.e. car headlights!)

This little shawl is crafted with Red Heart Reflective Yarn which is perfect for late afternoon and early evening playtime – the headlights from oncoming cars reflect off the yarn and catch the attention of drivers quickly.

Darla thinks it looks like a Princess Cape – she also loves it because it sparkles like twinkling stars.

This shawl took just under one ball of Reflective Yarn.
