Girls Just Want to Have Fun
The neon shades of Perennial by Kelbourne Woolens, reminiscent of the fluorescent colors popular in the ’80s, were the inspiration for this shawl. The pattern is a nod to mesh that was popular with both Punk Rock and Madonna fans. Since nothing is complete without accessories, a few strings of Add-A-Bead necklaces is worked in there too.
This top-down triangular shawl may be worked up in three or two colors of fingering weight yarn. The final measurements are approximately 66” wide by 30” deep.
