Knitmas in July 2024

The 2024 *Knitmas in July* pattern is an asymmetrical triangle shawl designed to be the perfect summer knit! It is suitable for most knitters, from adventurous beginners to advanced. When it comes to summer knitting, I have a pretty specific list of pattern requirements. It must be portable, light, and simple enough to work on at family get-togethers, beach days, and road trips. With that in mind, I made sure the Knitmas in July KAL pattern is everything I look for in a summer knit: * Simple Stitches * Easy to memorize * Portable * Just the right amount of pizazz to make it a stunner and keep you knitting row after row I hope you'll join us in our Ravelry group [Nomadic Knits](/groups/nomadic-knits) or our [Facebook group][3] as we knit together throughout the month of July! **Finished Measurements:** approximately 91.5”/ 229cm x 16”/ 40cm (wingspan x depth at center). **Needles**: US 6/ 4mm or size to obtain gauge in Garter Stitch. Use your preferred needles for working flat. I used a 24” circular needle. **Gauge:** 19 sts and 44 rows = 4”/ 10cm over Garter Stitch. **Yarn:** fingering weight in MC; 400 yds/ 100g MC; fingering weight in three colors; 80 yds/ 20g each CC1, CC2, CC3. **Samples knit in:** 1 skein: Emma’s Yarn Super Silky (80% Superwash Merino, 20% Silk); 400 yards/ 100g 3 skeins: Emma’s Yarn Practically Perfect Smalls (80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon); 81 yards /20g GENERAL PROJECT NOTES ~ This asymmetrical shawl is knit flat, primarily in garter stitch, making it the perfect project to bring along on your summer adventures! ~ In total, only twelve rows vary from the easy-to-memorize two-row repeat that encompasses 98% of the pattern. ~ You can cut or carry your yarn when changing colors.
