Strawberry Canyon Shawl

Looking for the perfect summer accessory? Just 1 skein of sock yarn is all you need to create this stunning summer shawl! Its flattering trapezoid shape features beautifully textured garter stitch sides with pointy ends that make it easy to tie, while an airy, textured lace pattern elegantly drapes across your back, giving you both style and comfort.

This delightful shawl is knit sideways, beginning with just 5 stitches and ending with 5 stitches, ensuring that you will never have more than 100 stitches on your needles at any given time — making it manageable for knitters of all skill levels. The lace stitch pattern is not only captivating but is also easily memorizable, consisting of a 4 stitch/4 row repeat, with 2 of the rows serving as simple "rest" rows. In fact, there's absolutely no purling whatsoever in this design! This means you won’t have to juggle a complicated chart while knitting; the lace pattern alternates just 2 types of stitches, simplifying your knitting experience.

This shawl is also completely reversible and measures approximately 57 inches at its longest width by 18 inches high after blocking, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. You can use any fingering weight yarn that you desire in this pattern (approximately 420 yards is recommended for gauge), and both variegated and solid colors work wonderfully to create a unique and eye-catching design.

The size of the shawl is easily adjustable; simply knit more repeats to make it larger or modify the dimensions to suit your style. It's an ideal project for both beginners and experienced knitters alike who want to create a beautiful summer shawl quickly and efficiently. So why wait?
