Beachcomber is a completely reversible oversized shawl full of fun shaping, garter stitch stripes and striking lace. Worked diagonally from tip to tip, the multicolored garter stitch sections alternate with bands of lace and are finished off with a fluttery picot bind-off, resulting in a delightfully squishy, colorful and lightweight shawl! The large, asymmetrical shape can be worn a multitude of ways and the breathable Cotlin DK makes Beachcomber a striking and dramatic summer accessory.

I will not knit this shawl again since it had so many ends to weave in. There are much better multi yarn patterns that carry the yarn without having to cut and wave in ends.

I have made this shawl three times and absolutely loved it. If you weave in the colors as you go along, it isn't overwhelming. It was so much fun to make and I gave them to my daughter, her mother-in-law, and sister-in-law when we were all in Hawaii this past January. Highly recommend it. I will now make the fourth for me.

I don't like lots of the weaving in ends; this shawls has a lot of them. I stopped working on it. One day I'll pick it up again, but make the stripes wider. Or use one of the multi color cakes of yarn to make it up and use the kit yarn for something else.

I received this kit for Christmas, and am actually at the beach this week finally starting it for the first time. I'm finding it perfect for beach knitting and its coming right along. I only wish there was a picture of it spread out in its entirety - I'm a "visual" knitter and would love to see a picture spread out "as if for blocking" instead of these lovely pictures draped around the model. Thanks.

I love this shawl pattern. I have knit the "original" and "morning" colors. Pattern is very detailed and we'll laid out. I like that it was written in sections so the information was easy to read and not overwhelming. I had never knit with more than one color and had not knit lace. Instructions were easy to follow. UTube had instructions on changing colors.

Love this shawl, knit this one in original colors last year and wore it all summer! Covers the shoulders Nicely In an air-condition vehicle and I really enjoyed wearing those colors. The only thing for me would be, to knit this one again, a little shorter and with fall colors. The yarn and the pattern worked excellently.

This is a wonderful warm weather accessory! I plan to wear in at work, where it's warm when the air isn't blowing, and freezing when it is. The yarn is very nice and knits up into a wonderful fluid fabric. I made my own 'kit' with Thicket, Gosling, and Sagebrush. I had so much yarn leftover if I bought three more balls (1 of each color) I could make another one! So WAY too much yarn for just one shawl, but good pattern and fabric.

I purchased this pattern awhile ago and am finally getting to it. I love the pattern, very easy to follow and it's coming along nicely, I can't wait to wear it. I purchased another color scheme as well, really love them both!

I'm fairly new to knitting but I fell in love with this pattern and wanted to make the shawl. I bought the stand-alone pattern and picked my own colors, so mine is kind of a rainy summer color scheme (gosling, harbor, and linen). The pattern is easy to follow, and the way it's broken down into sections made the project less daunting than it might have been. I had no trouble following the instructions and would definitely buy another pattern from this designer. The CotLin was easy to work with, too.

Just finished my beachcomber shawl and love,love ,love it. The codlin yarn is so soft and easy to knit with, as a beginner knitter I am constantly rising out and restarting and the yarn held up well with no splitting or knots. Received many compliments and know that others are waiting for their order to arrive to make their own

Such a beautiful and fun project! This is THE perfect summer accessory to pack on vacation and to the beach. I got the original kit and just love the conch and surf colors together. I'm gifting this once it is worked up but will definitely get more Cotlin to make myself one as well! Highly recommend.
