Sjal fra Reisen Gjennom Stenene (Hekling)

The sideways construction made this such a fun change of pace, and the finished drape is exactly the lightweight feel I wanted for cool evenings. I found the stitch rhythm addictive once I got the first few rows under my belt, and it grew quickly enough that I actually finished it in two weekends.

I was a little nervous about a sideways construction, but the instructions are incredibly clear and easy to follow. The finished shawl is light and airy, perfect for cool summer evenings.

The sideways construction from tip to tip made this shawl fly off my hook — I finished it in four evenings, which never happens for me. It's light enough to actually wear in spring without overheating, and the drape turned out way softer than the photos suggested.
