| Eastham Shawl |
{Add the Eastham Shawl to your Ravelry library now!}
As you might have guessed, I am in love with raglan shaped shawls. This style is my favorite to wear because the raglan shaping allow the shawl to sit nicely on the shoulders without constantly falling off.
The inspiration came from a weekend getaway to Eastham, Cape Cod. Even for just a weekend, packing crochet and knitting projects is important and I don't want it to be my main focus. I want to be able to enjoy the scenery and engaging in conversation while on the 3-hr drive.
Eastham Shawl is a great go-to shawl to make and to wear. This 2-color shawl is perfect for relaxing knitting. Lately, I’ve been drawn to simple designs that embrace the idea of miles and miles of plain stockinette with short bursts of mindfulness. As life gets increasing more hectic and demanding, I find I need projects that are quick and easy, and fit my style and lifestyle. The Eastham Shawl embodies this concept, perfectly.
PATTERN NOTES
The shawl is worked from the top-down in St st with raglan style shaping in the main color down to the color change eyelet section and lace edging. The body is simple stockinette to allow for mindless knitting and then finishes with a lace edging requiring a bit more mindfulness thoughts.
