Enjoy my brand new summer shawl called “Totally cool” I’d love it if you added the pattern to your faves and wish you happy knitting.

I knitted mine from a knit kit by Yarnz2go.. It’s totally worth it as it comes with the Lightly perfectly arranged and the mini skein as well as the printed and also emailed pattern in a project bag !!

The shawl gets knitted top down and it continuous to grow until the very start of the bottom lace border, which is done with a very cool double yarn over lace design. It is knitted with a single skein of our special Lightly in an all new color way called “Aquatic” and the knit kits also include a mini skein of DK weight to finish up that lace border as shown.

The pattern is fully written and also offers a lace chart.
The blocked size measures 57” in overall length and 15.5” in middle height.
