As crazy as 2020 has been this year has flown by. I can’t believe it is already half over. I have been home from work since the beginning of April because of the pandemic and I still can’t seem to get through my to do list.  Probably because I can’t stay off the computer long enough to stop buying yarn.

Anyway, this pattern is easy enough for a beginner,  I believe especially if you have made a granny square before. The shawl is basically  just half of a granny square. I’ve been working on it for a while, but not because it takes a long time to complete. It’s just as I said before, I have been unmotivated and unable to get things done. This will work up quickly for most. The silk yarn and open stitch make this shawl perfect for summer nights, relaxing on the porch or grilling out.

Difficulty:Intermediate
