Aegaea
Introducing the Aegaea Shawlette: a stunning accessory that captures the deep blue hues of the Aegean Sea. This lovely shawlette is designed to be worked from side to side, similar to a scarf, with cleverly placed increases nestled within the garter stitch section to create an elegant silhouette. Easily adaptable to different gauges and varying yardages, the Aegaea Shawlette features a wide, waving border adorned with a combination of twisted ribbing and delicate lace, all beautifully finished with charming double yarnover scallops that enhance its overall appeal.
SIZE:
The Aegaea Shawlette measures 54 inches long, with a width of 5.5 inches at the edge and expanding to 8.5 inches at its center, making it a perfect addition to any outfit.
MATERIALS:
For this project, you will need MJ Yarns Silken DK Weight, which is composed of 85% Polwarth wool and 15% silk, providing a luxurious hand feel and drape. One skein in cerulean twilight is required, and this pattern utilizes approximately 93% of the skein, so you can expect to create a truly unique piece with minimal waste.
You'll also need 1 set of US #7 (4.5 mm) 24-inch circular needles—or size needles needed to obtain the correct gauge. Additionally, prepare stitch markers and a tapestry needle to help you with your crafting process.
GAUGE:
Achieve the perfect fit for your Aegaea Shawlette by ensuring your gauge matches: 21 stitches and 28 rows equal 4 inches in garter stitch after blocking, while 16 stitches and 27 rows equal 4 inches in the charted pattern after blocking. Getting the right gauge will ensure that your shawlette not only looks great but also fits beautifully.
