Introducing Shimmer Shawl 💖 The Shimmer Shawl patt Introducing Shimmer Shawl 💖 The Shimmer Shawl pattern and yarn kit are part of the Knit for the Girls 2026 ‘Down Under’ Pattern Collection, created for the annual Knit for the Girls breast cancer research fundraiser. During October 2026, 20% of Shimmer Shawl pattern and yarn Kit sales from the Knit for the Girls 2026 ‘Down Under’ Pattern Collection will be donated to the official Knit for the Girls fundraiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation Australia @nbcfaus , supporting breast cancer research and is part of the @threadandmaple @grocerygirlsknit and @louielolayarns annual breast cancer fundraiser ‘Knit for the Girls’, in support of the Australian National Breast Cancer Foundation to be held from 24th -31st October 2026. I have partnered with @terinaknits AKA Love & Speckles yarn who has created DK and Fingering weight yarn kit options for the Shimmer Shawl. Knit tip-to-tip, Shimmer Shawl is an easy-to-wear, shallow crescent-like shaped shawl with a modern aesthetic. Classic chevron patterning is reimagined here, designed to allow a gorgeous mini-skein set of yarn to shimmer symmetrically. Or knit it up in a single colour or colour-change yarn to make this your own. The instructions include options for both fingering or DK weight yarn. Either way, you can make a bold or subtle statement with your colour selection and create yourself a wardrobe classic to enjoy for years to come.
