Palmdale Wrap

Introducing the Palmdale Summer Shawl—a must-have accessory for the upcoming hot summer months! This easy-breezy summer knit is perfect for those looking to stay stylish while embracing the warm weather. Crafted from soft, breathable cotton yarn and using larger needles, you can complete this versatile shawl in just a weekend! Unlike traditional shawls that often slip off, the Palmdale design features convenient arm slits, providing a secure fit that allows you to move freely without constantly adjusting your wrap. Whether you're heading to the beach, lounging by the pool, or browsing your local farmer's market, this shawl will be your go-to choice for effortless summer style.

SKILLS NEEDED: To create the Palmdale Summer Shawl, you should be comfortable with basic knitting skills such as knit, purl, yarn overs (YO), simple increases, and decreases. Additionally, you’ll need to know how to remove stitches to a stitch holder and rejoin them later. Don’t worry if you're unfamiliar with some techniques; the pattern defines all terms clearly and includes helpful links to YouTube videos demonstrating any special stitches, making it easy for you to follow along.

The oversized 'Veil' stitch used in this pattern can be a bit fussy for some knitters, which is why we recommend this project for adventurous beginners and beyond. You'll gain valuable skills while creating a beautiful shawl that enhances your summer wardrobe!

For this project, circular needles are used for knitting flat, but if you prefer, single-point needles will work just as well.
