A Midsummer's Night Shawl

As a special gift in celebration of Mother's Day, I'm offering this stunning knitting pattern for free from May 6 to May 8! This delightful design makes a perfect present for that special someone in your life or for anyone who could use an extra touch of love. Mark your calendars: after May 8, this exclusive pattern will be available for just $6.

I absolutely adore experimenting with variegated yarns and their coordinating colors, and these two skeins from Three Irish Girls are no exception! They blend beautifully, creating a harmonious mix of texture and lace that results in a breathtaking shawl. Whether you're planning a romantic evening or a dreamy Midsummer’s Night gathering, this shawl will add an elegant touch to your outfit. Remember, when you complete your project, be sure to block your shawl thoroughly. If you opt for the luxurious Three Irish Girls McClellan yarn, a nice soak and blocking are essential to transform your piece. This process opens up the eyelet stitches and enhances the gorgeous drape achieved thanks to the bamboo fibers, leaving you with a stunning finished product that is sure to impress.

Finished Dimensions: Approximately 80” (203.0 cm) wide and 30” (76.0 cm) long after washing and blocking. This generous size makes it ideal for draping over your shoulders or wrapping around you on cooler evenings.

Gauge: 16 stitches and 32 rows = 4” (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch. Achieving the correct gauge is key to ensuring your shawl has the perfect fit and drape.

Yarn Requirements: For this project, I recommend using a lightweight, soft yarn that complements the intricate design. Be sure to check the yarn weight and fiber content to achieve the desired texture. For additional guidance on suitable yarn options, visit our yarn recommendations page.
