SUMMERNIGHT DREAM is a light crescent-shaped shawl for cool summer days. It is made with only one skein of the beautiful long gradient yarn called “Gomitolo Sole” by Lana Grossa.

The shawl features a lace and cable pattern in the center and along the border finished by a picot-bind off. The elegant crescent shape is created by increases along the central panel in every other row and at the beginning and end of each row.
