Perfect Retreat Shawl

The Perfect Retreat Shawl was designed for the Super Summer Knitogether or SSK Retreat.

After simple set-up rows the body is mindless garter stitch with a two-row repeat. After the garter stitch you are ready to add simple lace to the edge.

Designed to start the set-up rows at home, head off to the retreat, then relax and knit garter stitch to your heart’s content. By the time you get home you’ll be ready to add the final lace edging. While working on the lace you can remember the fun and friends from the retreat.

Another fun idea would be to start with a yarn in your stash. Work the body of the shawl at the retreat, then purchase a coordinating skein of yarn at the retreat to use for the lace sections when you get home. You will instantly have created a memory shawl!

Also perfect for non-retreat knitting, this is a perfect shawl for your everyday life knitting.
