Sea Holly

Looking for the perfect accessory for those warm summer evenings spent outdoors or breezy beach days? This stylish casual shawlette is exactly what you need! It offers just the right amount of warmth when the temperature drops, allowing you to enjoy your time outside comfortably.

This shawlette is knitted flat, but we recommend using a circular needle to accommodate the number of stitches required for this project. Choosing the right tools can make your knitting experience smoother and more enjoyable!

The pattern calls for Rowan Summerspun yarn in the beautiful shade of Greenwich, a stunning blend of turquoise and blues. This DK weight yarn is a delightful wool-cotton mix that provides both warmth and breathability for summer wear. However, feel free to choose an alternative DK (light worsted) yarn that catches your eye. Just remember to adjust the quantity of yarn accordingly to complete your shawlette.

The main section showcases a lovely garter stitch, expertly worked in short rows to create a gentle crescent shape that beautifully drapes over the shoulders. The shawlette features a simple diagonal rib and scalloped lace edging, seamlessly joined to the main section as you knit. This project is ideal for those who are looking to enhance their knitting skills, particularly in lace knitting and short row shaping. If you’ve yet to try your hand at these techniques, this shawlette is a wonderful opportunity to expand your repertoire while creating a gorgeous wearable piece.

Whether you're planning a seaside getaway or enjoying a summer gathering, this elegant shawlette will become your go-to accessory. Don't miss out on the chance to create a beautiful piece of knitwear that combines both functionality and style!
