Summer Solstice is a beautiful and light triangle shawl that’s fun to knit. You won’t want to put your needles down!

Using two colours, you alternate garter stitch stripes with a simple yet delicate lace pattern. Summer Solstice is worked diagonally with increases on one side only, creating a slightly asymmetric triangle.

One skein of fingering weight yarn in each colour is enough. Have fun matching your favourite skeins!

This shawl is worked flat, but I recommend using 80 – 100 cm / 32 – 40 inch circular needles to accommodate the growing number of stitches.
