Midsommersjalet (Midsummer shawl) 2025 is my design for the midsummer knitalong, which I co-hosted along with the fantastic Marie, yarn dyer and owner of my local yarn shop Wool Collective.

The shawl is a light and airy cresent shape shawl, perfect for wrapping up in on a summer evening or to use as a scarf around your neck. The design is inspired by summer moments and follows the four themes: field flower, summer leaves, cozy fire chat, and petals.
The shawl can be knit in a fade from light to dark or in color blocks.

About the pattern:
The pattern was released as a mystery knit in 2025, but the full pattern is now available in the downloads

The shawl is knit from the center at the neck and out. There will be four lace patterns as well as transitions between the colors. The lace patterns will both be shown in chart as well as written out.
