Something For The Weekend

We all cherish that feeling of the weekend arriving. On Friday night, Monday morning feels miles away, and Saturday is pure bliss. But then, just like that, Sunday evening rolls around, and we're already counting down to the next weekend.

My Something For The Weekend pattern perfectly captures that feeling. You'll cast on, quickly fall into the rhythm of the relaxing stitch pattern, and then experience the satisfying rush as the rows suddenly seem to pass by quicker and quicker, leading you swiftly to that final stitch. The best part? This is a weekend project you can genuinely finish in that time (but there's no rush if you want to savour it!).

This lightweight shawl features sections of stockinette and twisted eyelets, making it a truly satisfying knit for all skill levels. It's designed to keep you happily entertained, making this one-skein 4-ply project your ideal companion for quiet moments at your local coffee shop, relaxing at the beach or by the pool, or simply cosying up at home.

Beyond being wonderfully enjoyable to knit, this shawl is incredibly versatile. Wear it casually as a  bandana with a t-shirt, drape over your shoulders on balmy summer evenings, or layer with a jacket or coat for year-round warmth and style. Fair warning though: this pattern is addictive! You'll find yourself knitting multiple versions of Something For The Weekend because one is simply not enough!
