We’ve all experienced it: the thrill of planning a perfect day trip, the joy of the experience itself, and then, just as quickly, it’s over, leaving you yearning for the next excursion. My Something For The Daytrip pattern perfectly encapsulates that feeling and desire for another adventure! You’ll cast on, immerse yourself in the fun, rhythmic stitches, and before you know it, you’ll be at that final stitch, already dreaming about casting on your next version of Something For The Daytrip.

This lightweight, triangular shawl features offset sections of stockinette and twisted eyelets, making it a satisfying knit for all skill levels. Designed to keep you happily engaged, this one-skein 4-ply project is your perfect companion for actual day trips, relaxing at the beach or by the pool, or simply cosying up at home.

Beyond being enjoyable to knit, this shawl is incredibly versatile. Wear it casually as a bandana with a t-shirt, drape it over your shoulders on balmy summer evenings, or layer it with a jacket or coat for year-round warmth and style.

Its ease of knitting combined with its fantastic finished look means one thing is certain: you won’t be able to resist planning your next Something For The Daytrip soon after you finish your first!

Happy Knitting!
