Summer Rain
Introducing the Summer Rain Shawl – a beautifully soft and comforting addition to your knitting repertoire. This large shawl is designed to offer the perfect layer of warmth, allowing you to wrap yourself in its serene embrace whenever needed. With clean, refreshing lines, it’s both a relaxing and enjoyable project to knit, making it suitable for knitters of all skill levels. One of the best features of the Summer Rain Shawl is its versatility; you can truly make it your own by experimenting with a variety of color combinations that reflect your unique style.
To create this stunning shawl, you will need approximately 700 m / 760 yds of fingering weight yarn. Specifically, you will require 525 m / 570 yds for the main color (MC) and 175 m / 190 yds for the contrasting color (CC). The sample shawl showcased was expertly knit using 4 skeins of Blacker Yarns Lyonesse 4-ply, which is a delightful blend of 50% wool and 50% linen, with each 50 g skein providing 175 m / 190 yds of yarn. For this project, 3 skeins were used for the MC and 1 skein for the CC.
Please keep in mind that if you choose to use yarn other than a linen blend, your gauge may vary, so it’s important to check your tension to ensure the best results. Whether you're an experienced knitter looking for a new challenge or a beginner eager to enhance your skills, the Summer Rain Shawl is the perfect pattern to explore your creativity and produce a stunning, wearable piece that you'll treasure for years to come.
