ABOUT:
Knit a simple shawl that looks like it was hand-woven on a loom! The Swimming Hole Shawl is knit from side-to-side using the lovely, Herringbone Stitch, which is an easy to remember, meditative, 2-row repeat. A scalloped ripple border is the perfect finishing touch on this beautiful statement piece. Go grab two skeins of your favorite fingering weight yarn and let’s cast on a work of art!

850 yards of any fingering weight yarn. I used “The Autumn Acorn” yarn, 75% merino, 25% nylon, for my sample. Each skein has 437 yds/100 g/3.5 oz, 4-ply sock yarn and I used 2 skeins.
