Skipping Stones

Skipping stones is a cherished American tradition enjoyed by all ages, from children to adults. This delightful activity not only brings joy but also presents a fun challenge. Our beautifully designed shawl captures the essence of skipping stones across a shimmering lake. With its elegant ripples, stones represented by charming beads, and delicate lace accents, this shawl evokes the perfect outdoor experience.

The shawl is crafted from luxurious Capretta yarn from Knit Picks, featuring soft aqua and tan shades that harmonize beautifully. This exceptional yarn is a blend of merino wool, cashmere, and nylon—making it incredibly soft and a true pleasure to work with. To enhance the design, I incorporated a selection of 315 size 6/0 glass beads, specifically Miyuki #421B, which simulate the stones as they fly gracefully across the water's surface. While the beads are optional, they are easy to attach and greatly enrich the overall design, adding a touch of sparkle and personality.

This shawl features a shallow crescent shape, perfect for draping gracefully around the shoulders. The pattern includes comprehensive step-by-step instructions, alongside detailed illustrations that guide you through wraps, turns, and picking them up, ensuring that even beginner crocheters can follow along with confidence. Don't let the details intimidate you—I’m just an email away if you need assistance or have any questions during your crafting journey!

Whether you’re looking for a delightful weekend project or a perfect gift for a friend, this skipping stones shawl will not disappoint. Start your crochet adventure today and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a stunning piece that embodies the joy of being outdoors!
