FIELDWAY SHAWL

 

Take a stroll through golden hills and winding paths with Fieldway, a light and airy shawl inspired by the long walks in Sonoma in the summer. This shawl takes advantage of elongated triangular shaping, allowing you to achieve a generous wingspan with just one full skein and a mini. It’s a perfect stash-busting project that results in a wide, flowing, and easy-to-wear accessory.

Fieldway features a rhythmic mix of geometric lace, crossed stitches, and purl ridges. It is worked from the top down and can be adjusted for a different yardage simply by choosing when to stop at the final lace stripe.

Let the colors play. Let the stitches sing. And let Fieldway take you on a walk through sunlit California — no matter where you are ♡
