We all look forward to the weekend. On Friday night, Monday morning feels miles away, and Saturday is relaxed. But then, just like that, Sunday evening rolls around, and next weekend can’t come fast enough.

My Something For Next Weekend captures the feeling of a weekend and the wish for the next one to arrive perfectly. You’ll cast on, quickly fall into the rhythm of this relaxing pattern, and then experience the satisfying rush as the rows suddenly seem to pass by quicker and quicker, leading you swiftly to that final stitch. And it’ll leave you longing to cast on your next version to get that weekend feeling back!

This one skein lightweight shawl features alternating sections of stockinette and twisted eyelets, is a truly satisfying knit for all skill levels. It’s designed to keep you entertained, making this project an ideal companion for those quiet moments at your local coffee shop, outdoors, or simply curled up at home.

Beyond being wonderfully enjoyable to knit, this shawl is incredibly versatile. Wear it casually as a bandana with a t-shirt, drape over your shoulders on balmy summer evenings, or layer with a jacket or coat for year-round warmth and style. Fair warning though: this pattern is addictive and won’t be able to wait to cast on a new version!
