Combine your three favorite colors in this quick-to-knit funky shawlette! Asymmetric shaping, points and lines moving in different directions, a bit of texture in the form of garter stitch ridges: Vantage Points has all of this and more. The unique shape allows the shawlette to be worn in a variety of ways. This shape is created through increasing, decreasing and working short rows, as well as picking up stitches. Fingering or sport weight yarns would yield a nice lightweight shawlette as shown in the photos, but it could just as easily be knit in a heavier yarn for a wintry wrap. The pattern includes detailed illustrations showing how to achieve the shape.

PATTERN NOTES
The shawlette is worked from the right top side to the left bottom side and is made up of three different parts. The shape of the first part is created by increasing stitches on one side and decreasing stitches on the other side, interspersed with sections of short rows. Following this, you pick up and knit stitches along one edge and create the shape of the second part by increasing and working short rows. For the third and last part of the shawl you pick up and knit stitches along one edge once more, after which you work decreases on each side, creating the lower point of the shawl.
