Designed to use just one skein (or more, it’s easy to adjust) of any gorgeous handpainted yarn to make a shawlette for someone who’s close to you too!


This simple but stylish shawl is knitted from one end with gradual increases to form a triangular shawl which is fun to knit and easy to wear. The zigzag border with eyelets gives it a nice touch and makes the knitting interesting.

Size
One: approx. 166cm/65.25” wide and 38 cm/15” long at center spine.

Yarn
1 skein of any fingering weight yarn.

Needles
4.0 mm/US #6 circular needle (80 cm/32” long).

Other
1 stitch marker, tapestry needle for weaving.

Gauge
17 sts and 44 rows = 10 cm/4” in Garter st measured flat after wet blocking.
The gauge isn’t crucial on this project, but differences will affect the finished size as well as the required yardage.
