The vision for this pattern came to me when I visited a friend who lives in a beautiful home on the water. I thought “It would be so nice to have a row of beautiful, chunky shawls that can double as blankets, hanging by the back door ready to grab on your way out on a cool summer evening”. I pictured a rustic hand-made “coatrack” with three or four of these, in natural shades, hanging around, waiting for their wearer to head outside to sit on the back porch or sit by the fire.

A free version of this pattern is available on my blog HERE.

The paid version includes more detail, a video tutorial for the less common techniques, as well as calculations for all the gauges from fingering to bulky (needle size, stitch counts and approximate yardeage).

Materials:
2 skeins of Cascade Eco +
scissors
darning needle

Needles:
I used 7mm needles - no US equivalent is available. I would size down to a US 10.5 in order not to run out of yarn if you’re using the Cascade Eco +.

Dimensions:
The shawl has a wing span of 56”/142cm, knit in a diamond shape and folded in half. Each edge measures 40”/101cm.
