The Bay Area stays cool and breezy along the shoreline in the Summer. Days are a mix of bright sun, afternoon warmth, and the occasional chill in the shadows. Wrapped in a soft, airy shawl, summer takes on a cozy feel, like a gentle hug or the smile you get from a warm mug with an afternoon drink.

Welcome to the Summer Afternoon Shawl.

The pattern is worked lengthwise with short rows over eight increasing and then decreasing pattern repeats, giving the shawl a gentle curve and slightly more width at the center of the shawl.

The pattern results in 24 ovals at the neckline and 48 at the lower hem.
