Notes

beach glass & sand, bare feet & salty air, sunshine & coastlines ~ a super lightweight summer wrap (thanks, Bonnie, for a perfect pattern!)

yarn a Christmas gift from my sister

pattern notes & mods:

  • wanted a lighter weight knit so using laceweight
  • used one size smaller needle than pattern called for
  • using shawl pattern directions but added one extra lace chart outlined repeat so cast on an extra 12 stitches (longtail cast on 105st)
  • the shawl was going to be much too long so halfway through I decided to decrease the number of center lace chart repeats (I block things pretty hard so always gain extra length, especially on shawls) ~ instead of 10, I did Row 1-40 seven times and then Row 1-30 once
  • total rows worked on my shawl is 503 (if I counted right)
  • my finished shawl with mods weighed 98g (used 72.5g main color and 25.5g contrast color)

size:

  • unblocked :: 17” wide x 58” long
  • blocked :: 19” wide x 77” long
