I love knit accessories that can be worn in multiple ways. Combine that with something relatively simple to make and a fun color palette to work with too, and – voila – you have the ingredients for a lovely new knitting project! Introducing my newest design that includes all of that (simple, fun colors, versatile styling) and it’s called Magic Hour. Use a button to two just to secure the shawl in place, or use more buttons and adjust where they are placed for a whole different look. There are lots of options!
This DK-weight shawl/wrap is constructed just like a regular top-down triangle shawl, but includes buttons (and an eyelet edge that serves as buttonholes) so it can be worn in multiple ways. I used the yarn Craggy Tweed by Farmer’s Daughter Fibers in 4 different colors, inspired by the photo below taken by my husband Jeff. This photo also inspired the name of this piece, because he took the shot here in Freeport, Maine during “magic hour”, a term often used by photographers to describe the time just before/after sunrise or sunset when the lighting is, well, magical!
Create your own “Magic Hour” color palette, or use up stash DK-weight yarn you may have in your stash (it can be a great stash-busting project!). On my Magic Hour Tips page I provide several different options for adjusting the size to be larger, as well as provide different yarn option ideas.
