Shawls are a staple in any woman's wardrobe. It is always a good idea to add pieces like this to expand a wardrobe. Because this one is a really different design that makes it that much more special.

OMG! What a creative shawl. These easy motifs work up 8 x 8 inches then joined in a simple arrangement to make this breeze shawl. This blue color is very attractive for the summer and spring months but would also be appropriate for the cooler months of fall and winter. Because of the unique design it would not be a bad idea to make two.

I know it says this is a perfect summer weather shawl, but I can totally see this being worn over a solid tunic and a pair of leather boots with leggings. Make it in a warm mocha and black trim (or vice-versa) or a deep red with black trim . Great for travel as you are only making individual squares of 9 rounds each.

This Breezy Shawl is the kind of shawl I like because you don't have to hold it with your hand all the time. However, this has a limited use because of the style. I don't find it appropriate for formal occasions. Some people might want to use it for casual wear.

I made this using Unforgetable in seaside (?) and assembled using Caron simply soft in cream. Came out glorious, just rather a pain in my chosen yarn, because it does not frog easily if you make a mistake.
