Myst
If you're looking for the perfect Summer knitting project, look no further than the Myst shawl. This beautifully designed piece is ideal for bringing along on warm summer days, and it effortlessly wraps around your shoulders to keep you cozy on those chilly summer nights. Its lightweight and airy construction ensures that it won’t weigh you down but will provide just the right amount of warmth when the sun sets.
The Myst shawl is crafted using a unique approach that distinguishes it from traditional shawl designs. You will begin with a provisional crochet cast on, which sets the stage for an innovative sideways construction leading to one edge. Once you reach that edge, you’ll pick up the stitches to complete the second section of the shawl. This technique not only makes the process incredibly enjoyable but also results in a stunning, flowing piece that showcases your knitting skills. The simple eyelet chevron stitch adds a delightful texture and visual interest, making it a satisfying knit for both beginners venturing into lace knitting and seasoned knitters looking for a relaxing project.
The sample for this pattern is made using Rosy Green Wool, Merino Manx Fine, which offers a luxurious feel and great drape. When choosing your yarn, keep in mind that a suggested substitute is shown below, allowing you the flexibility to select the perfect option for your unique style and preference.
If you're new to lace knitting, the Myst shawl presents an excellent opportunity to develop your skills in an enjoyable way. For experienced knitters, this project promises to be a meditative and rewarding experience. Don’t miss out on adding this versatile and gorgeous shawl to your summer wardrobe!
