Similar to the solstice, which celebrates the profound duality of the longest and shortest days, I am happy to present this design in two versions: Summer Solstice, a larger shawl radiating warm, peach tones, and Winter Solstice, a smaller version which captures the beauty of a deep blue night’s reflection.

MATERIAL

GAUGE 26 stitches x 30 rows = 10 cm (4”) worked in the stitch pattern with both yarns before blocking.

SIZE - S (L)
Small is shown in the blue version Fizwizbiz Waterhouse + Petite Suri Klein
Large is shown in the peach version - Fizwizbiz Porcelaine + Petite Suri Corail

FINAL DIMENSIONS
Knitted length after blocking: 172 (284) cm; 68 (112)“.
Knitted width after blocking: 28 (33) cm; 11 (13)”.

NOTE
This shawl is knitted horizontally, starting with a point that gradually increases at the beginning of the right-side rows while working in a stitch pattern. When the desired width is reached, the stitches progressively decrease at the beginning of the right-side rows until the final point is reached. The edges of the shawl are worked according to the i-cord technique. This type of edging is achieved by slipping the last three stitches of each row while holding the yarn in front of the work.

The pattern is available in two sizes, with the larger one created by repeating rows 21 to 36 of the central grid. Check your gauge, as this version uses the entire two skeins of Fizwizbiz yarn. The small size used 68 g of Fizwizbiz and 28 g of Petite Suri. You may repeat rows 21 to 36 of the central grid more than once if you can weigh your yarn along the way, not to consume more than half your skeins. The stitch pattern is available in both chart and written form, so you can follow the instructions in your preferred format.

ENJOY ! ♥︎
