Beach Bum

Introducing the Beach Bum Shawl, a stunning half-circle design perfect for knitters looking to create a lightweight accessory that combines style and functionality. This unique pattern features a delightful blend of garter stitch, eyelet lace, and simple increases and decreases, making it suitable for various skill levels. The pattern is presented in a clear, written format, avoiding the need for charts, which allows for a straightforward knitting experience.

When it comes to gauge, it's essential to note that it was measured after blocking. The Beach Bum Shawl is intentionally knit at a loose gauge to achieve a lightweight finish with an exceptional drape. This design is crafted with the intention of maximizing yarn usage, ensuring that you use up as much of each skein as possible. If you work at a different gauge, please consider that you may require extra yardage, especially if your stitches are tighter.

For this beautiful shawl, I used size 7 US (4.5 mm) knitting needles and two skeins of Sock Obsession Yarns' resilient smooth sock yarn, specifically in the vibrant colorways Speeding Ticket and Hawaiian Something. The result is a stunning accessory that showcases rich colors and an airy feel, making it perfect for both casual and formal wear.

Measurements for the finished shawl include an impressive wingspan of 73 inches and a depth of 23 inches, providing ample coverage and elegance. Perfect for wrapping yourself up on a breezy beach day or adding a layer of coziness to any outfit, the Beach Bum Shawl is a must-have addition to your knitting repertoire.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to explore new techniques, the Beach Bum Shawl pattern offers an enjoyable and rewarding project. Download the pattern today and start creating your own eye-catching shawl that will be the envy of friends and family alike!
