Beach Horizons Knit Shawl Pattern
Check out this stunning knit shawl that reminds us of where the setting sun meets the ocean.
The Beach Horizons Knit Shawl makes lovely use of the subtle shift in colors from orange to blue in Red Heart's It's a Wrap Sprinkles yarn. While lace shawls are always a little more difficult than your standard beginner patterns, the lace panels featured in this triangle shawl are made of simple increases and decreases so that making this up for any practiced knitter will be a breeze. As this pattern is both written out and charted, it's accessible for all types of knitters, and beautiful enough to enhance any outfit with which you choose to pair it. Though we love this lacy shawl for the summertime, it would be an easy way to add some extra warmth to your winter wardrobe, as well.
This incredible pattern is third in a series of printable patterns we're releasing to celebrate AllFreeKnitting's 10th birthday!
