Perfect Retreat Shawl

The Perfect Retreat Shawl is a beautifully designed knitting pattern created specifically for the Super Summer Knitogether (SSK) Retreat, making it an ideal project for fiber enthusiasts looking to unwind while creating something special.

This shawl begins with straightforward set-up rows, creating a foundation that is easy to follow. The body consists of engaging, mindless garter stitch, with a delightful two-row repeat that allows for relaxed knitting. Once you complete the garter stitch section, you will then transition to adding a charming lace edging, elevating the shawl’s allure.

Perfect for your retreat experience, the design encourages you to start the set-up rows at home so that you can head off to the retreat with your project already on its way. Once you arrive, enjoy the serenity of knitting garter stitch at your own pace, allowing you to stay present and unwind. By the time you return home, you’ll be primed to add the final lace edging, turning your project into a treasured keepsake that reminds you of the friendships and fun shared during the retreat.

For an extra personal touch, consider starting with a yarn from your stash to work on the body of the shawl at the retreat, and then treat yourself to a new, coordinating skein of yarn at the event. This strategy will not only create a stunning contrast for the lace sections but will also transform your shawl into a unique memory piece representing your retreat experience.

Though designed with retreats in mind, The Perfect Retreat Shawl is equally suitable for everyday knitting. Its versatile design allows you to create a beautiful accessory that can be enjoyed in any setting, whether at home or social gatherings. Knitting enthusiasts of all skill levels will find joy in this project.

This stunning shawl is shown in luxurious Sun Valley Fibers MCN yarn, but we suggest exploring alternative yarn options for your own unique twist. Enjoy the process of creating your Perfect Retreat Shawl and carry the spirit of your delightful knitting adventures wherever you go!
