The Lola Shawlette is a refined, everyday accessory designed to be as satisfying to knit as it is to wear.

It’s worked from one tip, increasing along a single edge until the midpoint is reached, then mirrored decreases create a clean, balanced shape. A subtle knit-and-purl texture adds depth and movement to the center while keeping the overall look calm and elegant.

The rhythmic stitch pattern makes Lola an engaging project without being complicated, ideal for knitters who enjoy thoughtful details and a steady, relaxing flow.

The pattern requires two skeins and includes instructions for both Malabrigo Vientos and Mecha.

Vientos in Sunset
