It’s Summer KAL time here at Ancient Arts! Last year we took a summer road trip with the Summer Road Trip shawl, but this year we are going to stay closer to home and have a Staycation! Summer trips are a lot of fun but sometimes we just want to stay home and enjoy some self-care. For me that means a fun knitting project that keeps me entertained while I enjoy some sunshine, my patio, and a tasty glass of iced tea! The Staycation Shawl is all about spending a day in a beautiful garden and is filled with easy-to-work stitch patterns that include garden paths, flower borders, and fun pops of colour. This shawl is rated an easy intermediate knit and is a great way to relax with stitches that look complex but are delightfully straightforward.
This is an asymmetrical triangle shawl and the finished measurements are: 74"/ 88 cm along the long angled edge, 60"/ 152.5 cm along the straight short side, and 44.5"/ 113 cm along the bottom border.
