Feel the Breeze Kit
THIS KIT ONLY INCLUDES YARN
PURCHASE JENNIFER WEISSMAN'S FEEL THE BREEZE PATTERN HERE
This beautiful shawl pattern was designed by Jennifer Weissman.
Feel the Breeze shawl is the perfect year round shawl. It’s actually a breeze to knit: the ripples are created with just one pattern row, and the shawl is almost entirely garter stitch, without a single purl. Wear it as either a shawl or a scarf and delight in the lovely colors.
If you haven’t tried German short rows before, this is a great introduction ~ the pattern includes detailed instructions plus a photo tutorial, as well as a link to a video tutorial. You’ll be surprised by how easy these short rows are!
For your convenience, a page of check boxes for tracking progress is also included.
