Baltic Summer

Summers of my childhood were spent camping on the beautiful island of Fehmarn, located in the stunning Baltic Sea. This serene island holds a special place in my heart, as it's where my father grew up and my mother has strong family ties. During our blissful six weeks of summer vacation, we enjoyed a mix of lazy sunny days at the beach and the occasionally rainy afternoon. On those bright days, we savored fresh rolls with cheese and wurst, prepared each morning, which inevitably gathered a sprinkle of sand, giving them that unmistakable beachy flavor. However, most of our time was spent indoors as rain poured down. We often found ourselves cozied up in our caravan, playing card games while bundled up in the scant summer clothes we had naively packed, hoping for brighter weather. On those gloomy days, this exquisite shawlette would have been the perfect companion. Capturing the beautiful colors of the Baltic Sea and the soothing tones of rain, its design features a pattern of small summery waves, providing just the right amount of warmth for those not-so-hot summer afternoons. The shawlette is skillfully knit on the bias, giving the classic chevron pattern a fresh and unusual twist. Each side of the triangle showcases a uniquely shaped wave, reminiscent of the unpredictable and wild weather of the Baltic Sea. If you're looking to create your own piece of summer nostalgia, this delightful shawlette pattern interweaves memories of both sunny beach days and cozy moments indoors. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this versatile accessory will not only keep you warm on cooler days but also add a splash of color and style to your wardrobe. Dive into this knitting adventure and embrace the beauty of the Baltic Sea with every stitch!
