The heat of summer and a swirl of boardwalk nostalgia combine in this project: bright saltwater taffy twisting in the window and candy barrels packed with fruity color. Worked from the top down with rapid increases at the edges to form a crescent shape, this shawl sports sections of stockinette and a rhythmic mesh pattern. With only a few pattern rows, this one is easy to memorize for working on the go or by the pool.
