Bahama Breeze
This fun top-down triangle shawl was inspired by my trip to the Bahamas in March. I grabbed these colors and started on the plane ride over.
Bahama Breeze is a sister pattern to 4-ever in Blue Jeans. Same stitches, just bumped up a notch!!! This design plays with using 2 colors in the Bee Stitch (addicting) and a bit larger mosaic repeat for a bold statement!
-If you loved 4-ever in Blue Jeans - this is your next adventure!!!
Mosaic knitting is an easy colorwork technique that uses slipped stitches and only one color at a time.
The pattern comes with written directions and charts for the mosaic section.
Yarn: For both my shawls I chose the super squishy crazy beautiful-
Emma’s Yarn Super Silky (80% Superwash Merino/20% silk, 400yards/100grams)
Colorways:
Blue-Green Shawl
• Main Color (MC): Just Add Salt (lime) 375 yards
• Coordinating Color (CC1): Mexican Wedding Dress (speckled) 250 yards

Yellow- Coral Shawl
• Main Color (MC): Yellow Submarine 375 yards

Needles & Notions:
US 4/3.5mm 32” circular needles & one US 8/4mm for cast on and bind off, Stitch Marker, T-pins and blocking wires for blocking
Gauge:
16 stitches = 4 inches in Bee stitch after blocking. Although gauge is not crucial for this project, it will affect the finished size and yarn requirements. A looser gauge will result in the use of more yarn.
Measurements
35” deep x 68” tip to tip after blocking.
