Garden Party Shawl

Asymmetric Shawl Knitting Pattern for Summer Nights

Discover the perfect accessory for long summer evenings with our beautiful asymmetrical shawl knitting pattern. This stunning shawl, expertly knitted from a luxurious silk and merino blend, is designed to be soft against the skin and offers just the right amount of drape for comfort and style. The shimmering beads, delicately placed across a chevron lace pattern, resemble twinkling lights filtering through garden branches, making it an ideal piece for cozy gatherings outdoors. So set the scene: string up those fairy lights, invite your friends over, cue up your favorite playlist, light the fire pit, and let the joy of conversation and laughter fill the air. After all, summer nights are meant for unforgettable moments.

This project is perfect for the intermediate knitter, offering an engaging challenge with a lovely reward. As a one-skein project, you can easily choose a smooth yarn in a solid or semi-solid color that best showcases the intricate lace pattern. Our sample shawl was crafted using Under the Olive Tree Knits Steni Vala 4ply yarn, known for its lustrous and velvety texture that enhances the overall elegance of this design.

If you're new to knitting with beads, this pattern is an excellent opportunity to try your hand at it. We have included a video tutorial linked in the pattern that demonstrates how to add beads with a crochet hook, allowing you to enhance your knitting skills while creating a stunning accessory.
