Melonwater

Fresh and sweet, this shawl turns the traditional watermelon colours around - making it a Melonwater!

Worked sideways from the tip to the meshed contrast colour edge, Melonwater is a meditative knit, with evenly spaced rows of purl ridges which turn into eyelets. You choose where to end the purls and begin the eyelets, making your own unique version every time.
