Erigeneia Shawl
Please meet the Erigeneia Shawl, which means “Early-born’ and was inspired by a sunrise.

Edlothia Shawl
The Edlothia shawl is a beautiful, diaphanous and gauzy shoulder throw most evocative of a dragonfly wing. It’s likely the best summer shawl in terms of lacy, airy structure. Moreover, the delicate color gradient beautifully highlights the “almost-not-there” ephemeral structure of the shawl. This is a slightly more challenging pattern which befits a garment as gorgeous as the Edlothia shawl. Take it on as a challenge; as a way of keeping interested, if you are more advanced, and as a way of upping your game, if you’re not.

Summer Morning Shawl
For a more casual, Sunday-at-the-BBQ look, you may wish to consider the Midnight Walk or Summer Morning shawlsthat will be a great way to keep warm and cosy, and still look fabulous. They are also easy projects that won’t tax your creative juices to any great degree.
The Summer Morning shawl with ombre hues is a beautiful, airy yet solid shawl that will be a great touch of summer during these dreary fa;; days. While the airy structure gives it lots of lightness, the solid stitching in between gives it lots of drape and a lot of body, to keep your shoulders and neck warm and toasty as you go about town (or from the kitchen to your favorite armchair with a good cuppa). As a consequence of its more dense stitching, it’ll be the best summer shawl for a cooler evening. The shawl done in ombre shades, can be made to match any taste or outfit. You can make one in summery pastels, but fall earthtones also work well

This is a pleasant and interesting project that results in a clothing accessory that will be fun to wear and a talking point with your friends. Also, this is an easy pattern to make, so it could be attempted by an ambitious beginner.

Lizard Shawl
The Lizard is a shawl project different from others in that this is a shoulder throw that’s meant for more special occasions, rather than for wearing every day. This shawl will beautifully accessorize an evening gown, such as pink and black, as shown below, or in a more saturated hue, like blood red with a black or dark-wine gown. It’s a very versatile garment, and will serve well to keep the evening chill off your shoulders when wearing those risque evening clothes.
