Big drop

Summer is a wonderful time of the year. Everything seems lighter, brighter and more carefree, but sometimes it can feel a little too warm to knit or even think about wearing knits.

But Big Drop can help solve this by providing you with your perfect summer knitting fix! It's a simple, fun and relaxing project that only uses two skeins of 4ply yarn so it's perfect for chilling with as you relax outdoors either at home or on holiday or just in your garden on balmy summer evenings.

The pattern is great for adventurous beginners and seasoned knitters alike. The drop stitch motif snuggled between stocking stitch sections adds a lovely airiness and texture to the design as well as keeping you on your toes tension wise!

This stunning large triangular shawl is light and airy to wear even on the hottest days, but it still gives you that little boost of cosiness on those slightly cooler summer nights. But not only that, by using a sparkly yarn or even adding beads this pattern also makes for a perfect special occasion accessory.

But whether you knit this fabulous shawl to add to your vacation wardrobe or to keep the chill away at a special event, you'll certainly have fun knitting this project...and quite possibly more than once!

And don’t forget that when you purchase a copy of this pattern you’ll be helping a cause very close to my heart. In honour of my Mum, I will be donating 50% of the pattern’s sales proceeds to my chosen cancer charity of the year, Cancer Research UK.

Happy Knitting!
