Pwani
Introducing Pwani: Your Perfect Summer Shawl Inspired by the Coast
Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the coast with our Pwani shawl, which beautifully captures the essence of sunny beaches and tranquil waves. Pwani, which means “coast” in Swahili, is not just a knitting pattern; it’s a celebration of the sea and a tribute to lazy summer days spent by the shore.
As you knit Pwani, let your mind wander through your most cherished memories of wide-open spaces dotted with long sandy beaches, bright sunny skies, and the gentle sound of lapping waves. This shawl is designed as the perfect companion for relaxation, easy to create with its stylish mesh panels framed by soothing garter stitch. The use of simple, familiar stitches means you can unwind as you work, never needing to count beyond two, and allowing that each section can be knitted until your beautiful yarn runs out.
Pwani’s deep, wide crescent shape makes it an incredibly versatile piece that will seamlessly fit into your summer wardrobe. Crafted from Mabel and Ivy Coast yarn, this shawl produces a fantastically light and airy fabric with the ideal combination of cool cotton and a hint of warmth—everything you need for those breezy summer evenings on the shore.
Pwani is a proud addition to my Coast series, which also features Wingu (meaning "cloud" in Swahili). These stunning shawls were born from my longing for the peaceful embrace of the ocean, along with the calming sounds of the waves and the expansive sky that stretches endlessly over the sea.
The coast is truly a mesmerizing place. The winds carry the refreshing scent of salty air, clearing your mind while the stunning vistas provide ample space for your thoughts to meander freely. There’s a comforting embrace in the intersection of land, sea, and sky, and with Pwani, you can take a piece of that comfort with you wherever you go.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a newbie looking for your next project, Pwani is not just a pattern; it's a journey to the coast that you can wear. Join me in transforming your summer evenings with this beautiful shawl that invites warmth, comfort, and style into your life. Embrace the essence of the coast—knit your own Pwani today!
