This shawlette is studded with rounded flower-like knots made by “KNOT” stitches. The knots are worked on both sides, with a 3x3 ribbing background, so the fabric is reversible. (Clever!)

And the best part of this shawl is the “100-gram challenge”!! Start knitting with 100 grams of your favorite yarn, needles matching the yarn, and a kitchen scale.

Challenge how close you can get using up your yarn as you finish the shawl. The ribbing-based fabric can be stretched out quite a bit though blocking, so it can easily be adjusted to your desired size.

Projects like this which you can have fun with, the “100-gram challenge” are sometimes referred to as “playing yarn chicken”. Enjoy the excitement of “winning yarn chicken”!

◎ About this “English Tutorial Pattern”
This pattern was originally made for Japanese knitters to practice knitting with English written patterns. Therefore, it is bilingual in English and Japanese, so English speakers can use it by reading only the English part.
