Summer Path Shawl
This Summer Path Shawl is open and airy making it the perfect light weight shawl for cool summer nights. Made up from double crochets and chain stitches, it is a great pattern for a beginner crocheter. Take away from the length for an optional triangle scarf. Due to the simplicity of the pattern, a gradient yarn, such as this, works well to display the beauty of the yarn. Stick with a light weight, fine yarn to keep the shawl from being too weighted down.
