On my summer vacations I was in Key West and worked on this wonderful and simple design, this is the reason for the name of this shawl. Playing with the colors and at the same with the sand, this is how this beautiful shawl was born and will always remind me of the fabulous sunsets and the romantic nights of Keywest.
Loving Key West Shawl is a half circle shawl worked in one piece from top-down, starts at the center back of the neck and is knit down to the bottom edge.
