The Most Stunning Summer Knit Shawl Pattern You’ll Ever See

May 1, 2015 by AllFreeKnitting

unwind1When the warm and bright days of summer finally arrive, the last thing we want is a bulky knit shawl wrapped around our shoulders.  This long and ethereal wrap is worked up in a fine and hazy yarn with a soft color palette that will be perfect with any outfit throughout the summer.  The Unwind Wrap is a free shawl knitting pattern that features a light as air draping style, perfect for the warm summer nights.  The easy and simply unstructured design is fun to work up, right from the cast on edge all the way to the cast off.  The simple stripes are worked up loosely in a stockinette stitch and keep things interesting as you watch the color palette evolve.
