Weddings, graduations, concerts – there are so many events in June where it is handy to have a little shawl to throw over your shoulders when the breeze kicks up – or in warmer places when they sit you near the AC vent!
I designed my “Simply Sweet Shawl” pattern back in 2014, but I still use it all the time. It is a very easy knit – appropriate for knitters with only a few projects under their belts. And even though it is knit in fingering weight yarn, it is knit at a looser gauge so it knits up fairly quickly. Of course you could always knit it with a thicker yarn at a different gauge for a larger winter shawl.
While I love the look of scallops for the edges of this shawl, these are formed after the shawl body is finished and can just as easily be left off to give a straight edge to the shawl – an alternate look.
Take a look below at some of the versions Ravelry knitters have done up. And to celebrate Shawls in June – “Simply Sweet Shawl” is 20% off on Ravelry through June 14th (2019) – no code needed!
Sharon used the sweetest colors in her version of the shawl – perfect for a young girl!
Noreen knit her shawl with just 2 colors – but wow what colors! Beautiful!
Knitters have commented on how nicely the shawl drapes well over the shoulders, which Noreen is demonstrating here.
Frances used a variegated yarn for the body of her shawl with two different solids – lovely!
