House of a La Mode Aran Tweed has a wonderful tweedy texture, and the colors I used remind me of the times I spent camping while growing up. However, this gorgeous merino yarn is anything but rustic. With little pops of color and an incredibly luxurious softness, HOALM has created the perfect palette for glamping. Thus the name, Going Glamping, was born.

This asymmetrical shawl is worked from side to side, starting with a small number of stitches and ending in a beautiful diamond lace motif. Aran weight yarn and garter stitch make it a very quick knit, but the bits of lace keep things interesting.
