GENERAL INFORMATION
Evening Serenade is a lightweight, asymmetrical shawl worked with just two 50g balls of Knitting for Olive Merino in contrasting colours.
A simple slip-stitch pattern creates soft texture and a gentle fade effect, as one shade melts into the other like day fading into night.
Worked entirely in garter stitch with rhythmic slipped stitches, it’s a relaxing knit that makes the most of minimal yarn, producing a graceful, easy-to-wear accessory with beautiful drape and subtle depth.
