Introducing a stunning sideways, all-in-one knitting pattern designed as a sister piece to the beloved Galathea and Poppea shawls. This charming shawl or shawlette-size project is perfect for knitters looking to create an elegant accessory with a unique twist.
Note: Stay tuned! We are excited to announce that the pattern will soon be updated to include an alternative mesh body version, available any day now...
- This pattern is worked sideways, featuring a nifty beginning and ending that keeps your knitting engaging from start to finish.
- The design includes a mindless stockinette center that can also be substituted with a beautiful mesh lace, framed by lacy borders that are knit as you go—well up to a point.
- You can knit this shawl in any weight yarn, making it incredibly versatile for all your favorite fibers!
- Comprehensive charts are included to guide you through the knitting process.

It’s important to note that the border on this shawl requires a bit more concentration than the simpler border used in the Galathea pattern.
Midway through the project, I decided to introduce symmetry, leading to a dynamic knitting experience. The border for the second half is knitted on from the final tip back toward the center—but don’t worry, you won’t need to break the yarn! This allows for a true one-piece knit.
Additionally, B Walker's modified k2tog-tbl technique is a godsend for creating a neat and tidy edge, and it’s thoroughly explained in the pattern.

This particular design is shown in sparkleduck Merino/Nylon Sock yarn, which exemplifies the beautiful drape and stitch definition. A suggested substitute for this pattern is also listed below.
