I designed the Popsicle Shawl to showcase the color changes and textural interest of Araucania Alumco.
Yet, once it was designed, the yarn was discontinued. I knitted the pattern in a wool-alpaca blend, and it looks lovely as well!
The cotton shawl has become a wardrobe staple in the summer evenings and while working in overly air-conditioned offices.
You'll quickly remember this pattern and the shawl grows at a satisfying pace under your fingers. The quintessential summer knitting project!
