Hippie Chic Shawl
Introducing the Hippie Chic Shawl, the ultimate accessory for those warm summer months! This beautifully crafted shawl is knit using an aran weight blend of cotton, bamboo, and linen yarn on a US #10 (6mm) 32" (80cm) circular needle, ensuring a delightful drape that makes this project not only stylish but a remarkably FAST KNIT. The shawl's unique half circular shape features slightly crescent-shaped end panels designed to gently rest on your shoulders, eliminating any slipping and providing comfort throughout the day.
When it comes to gauge, you can relax! It’s not crucial as long as you utilize the suggested aran weight yarn and needle size. This way, you can focus on the joy of knitting rather than stressing over precise measurements.
The Hippie Chic design is adorned with an intricate flower motif and boasts a luscious fringe border that is seamlessly joined to the edge of the shawl as you knit, allowing for only four stitches to bind off at the end. This clever design choice not only adds elegance but also streamlines the finishing process!
In addition to the flower motif, the pattern offers two alternative options for the edging, ensuring that you can customize your shawl to match your personal style. You'll find detailed written instructions, helpful photo tutorials, and a comprehensive schematic for blocking dimensions included in the pattern. Plus, all measurements are provided in both imperial and metric for your convenience.
Whether you're an intermediate knitter or looking to improve your skills, the Hippie Chic Shawl is perfect for you. Its dimensions after blocking (excluding fringe) are 52 1/2" (133.5cm) across and 24" (61cm) deep, making it an eye-catching accessory that will complement any summer outfit.
