This listing is for a pdf of the knitting pattern - not a finished shawl.
This shawl is all about the quiet moments, whether that’s naptime or keeping an eye on a small child who doesn’t really nap but needs a bit of quiet time in their day. Or when you need a bit of quiet time in your own day!
The shawl is crescent shaped with the main section knit in garter stitch using the main colour. There is a transitional eyelet section in the contrast colour, which leads into a beautiful lacey knit-on edging. Quiet Time is knit at a fairly tight gauge to maximise squidgy cosiness but uses two skeins to make the shawl nice and large so you have lots to snuggle up in! I’m thinking hot chocolate and book by the fire. Or, next to the radiator… whatever works for you!
