Long Nights Shawl

**Discover the Cozy Comfort of “Long Nights” Shawl Pattern** Growing up in sunny California and now residing in the breathtaking Olympic Peninsula of Washington since spring 2021, I've come to cherish the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. However, the winter nights here can be *exceptionally long*! Inspired by these tranquil and cozy evenings, I created my latest shawl design: the **Long Nights Shawl**. The **Long Nights Shawl** is a top-down triangle shawl that employs DK weight yarn, resulting in a luxurious, heavier, and exceptionally squishy accessory that is perfect for knitting during those long, dark evenings. Not only is it enjoyable to knit, but it's also a wonderfully warm wrap to wear as you cozy up by the fire. This delightful shawl features a blend of stockinette and garter stitches, providing an excellent canvas to showcase beautiful hand-dyed yarns while keeping your knitting experience engaging and varied. The contrasting textures make each stitch an exciting part of the project.
