Ice Cream Social

As refreshing as a scoop of ice cream on a hot summer’s day, you’ll find this shawl to be just as satisfying! Six colorful minis and two full skeins of a main color play together to create a breezy accessory with eye-catching appeal. Worked on the bias, this asymmetrical triangle uses unique shaping within the lace and garter stitch to create a large, lightweight shawl with beautiful drape. Worn over the shoulders or wrapped around the neck, it’s the perfect way to add a little color to your wardrobe for an evening by the water or your next Ice Cream Social!
