A shawl to transport you to the beach, toes in the sand with your favorite cold beverage in hand. Designed to mimic your favorite cocktail, Bottoms Up starts at the base of your glass. Fun and super easy mosaic sections bring the ice cubes up in your cold tall glass, then finishes with a good amount of fizzy bubbles floating up to the rim. This shawl is both airy, warm and enjoying to knit resulting in a delightfully squishy, colorful and lightweight shawl!

A ginormous THANK YOU to my sneaky partners in crime lakelizard5 who tested the cocktails at the beach while knitting theory- TWICE and moonmaden who jumped on board with the delicious idea of a creamsicle drink!!!!
