The ultimate warm weather accessory, this crescent shawl nods to preppie sportswear, like tennis skirts, deck shoes and rugby jerseys. I love the idea of pairing this with white tees, worn out denim and sneakers – and if available, a sailboat.

It works up fast in a worsted weight cotton-linen blend with a bouncy chain construction and includes a cool technique to create provisional stitches while it’s worked, so adding the striped i-cord does not require picking up any stitches - and that’s a big summer mood!

A link to a video tutorial is included in the pattern.
