Summer Solstice Crochet Shawlette Free Pattern
I’m so excited to show you my newest wrap design, the Summer Solstice Shawlette!
This shawl is fancy & upscale – ready for a night on the town. I love the versatility wraps and shawls have – they can be worn in so many different ways and paired with lots of different outfits (from jeans to gowns!). I used a lovely sport weight yarn from Knitcrate I had lying around, but the cool thing is you can make it in any yarn weight you want!
I’ve made a couple of shawls this year, but I wanted to create a more textured one with a pronounced point. Hence the eyelet point which gives the shawlette a more summery feeling! This shawlette is not as long as other shawls, making it ideal for the summer or the early days of fall!
I used only 2 skeins of Shine Sport from Audine Wools in the colorway Sky. The shawlette would look beautiful with a solid and variegated tone as well. I can’t wait to see what color combinations you make, I’m sure they’ll all be beautiful!
