Serenity Shawl

Think about your favorite places for a hike or casual drive. What is it that appeals to you? Perhaps it’s the peace you feel in that locale, or maybe it’s the play of light and color on the various textures of nature. These are the exact qualities that inspired the color choice for the Serenity Shawl. The clever use of three colorways of Ella Rae Marmel, combined with a brick-like slip-stitch texture, make this a visually stunning wrap, reminiscent of the Nightshift shawl. This time, the lightweight blend of cotton and acrylic is ideal for covering summer shoulders as much as for wrapping up autumn necks.

Note: This pattern employs mosaic knitting, which involves a lot of slipped stitches. Although the yarn responds well to blocking, “tight” knitters may want to use a larger needle to ensure the slipped sections are more relaxed.
