It’s that time of year when there is a chill in the air but some of us are just not ready to completely let go of summer. I want to layer a big shawl around my shoulders but I still need some summer brightness. From Summer To Fall is just that shawl. With lots of garter stitch, a little bit of eyelet lace, and some bright cheerful stripes, this is the perfect transition piece. This is a sideways asymmetrical shawl with a central double decrease ‘spine’ and increases at each edge. Choose your three colours and blend some summer into fall.
