We all love a long weekend. Those extra couple of days provide a welcome opportunity to relax and recharge. But just like an ordinary weekend, the night before you need to go back to work comes round far too quickly!

And Something For The Big Weekend, captures that feeling perfectly. You cast on, the end of the project seems so far off. And even as you’re working the first few sections, you feel like you’ve got such a long way to go. But as you move through the pattern, the rows get shorter and shorter until the final stitch suddenly arrives.

Suitable for knitters of all abilities, it’s ideal for beginners looking for a project with a slight challenge with its sections of alternating stockinette and twisted eyelets. It’s a fun, rhythmic pattern that is great as a box set companion, but also perfect if you’re looking for a knit that you can put down and pick it back up again easily without wondering where you left off.

The shawl looks amazing in both single colour, variegated and scrappy yarns. It suits everyone and can be styled both casually or more creatively with formal outfits. And whether you knit this for yourself or as a gift, you’ll certainly end up knitting more than one version of this pattern in the future!

Happy Knitting!
