It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings

Originally released as the Special Bonus Kit for the 2018 Stunning Mystery Society Shawl Club, it slowly unwound over the course of ten months.

This top down ¾ circle shawl is worked in relatively simple repeats making it a relaxing knit without being boring.

Complete kit available in your choice of color here.

Skills Needed The pattern is fully written out and charted. The stitches used are all pretty basic, so it is a relaxing knit, but with lots of detail to keep you interested. It is a good introduction to knitting lace stitches and optional beading.
