Altitude Shawlette
Introducing a beautiful shawlette/scarf that is expertly knitted sideways in one seamless piece. This pattern comes with both written and charted instructions, making it accessible for all knitters, regardless of skill level. Once completed, your shawlette will measure an impressive 32cm (12.25 inches) deep at its widest point and 155cm (61 inches) in length, making it the perfect accessory for any outfit.
Materials Required: For this project, you will need a 4mm (US 6) circular needle or a pair of straight needles in the same size. The yarn recommended for this shawlette is 100g (4oz) of Happy Go Knitty yarn, which consists of 50% merino wool and 50% silk, in 4ply/fingering weight. Additionally, you will need 1 stitch marker, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, and a blocking mat with pins for finishing your piece beautifully.
Common Abbreviations: This pattern utilizes a few knitting abbreviations that are essential to know: K for knit, k2tog for knitting the next 2 stitches together, kfab for knitting into the front and back of the next stitch, P for purl, p2tog for purling the next 2 stitches together, PM for place marker, REP for repeat, SL 1 for slipping 1 stitch, SM for stitch marker, SOM for slipping over the marker to the other needle, ST(S) for stitch(es), and YO for yarn over.
Gauge/Tension Information: Achieve the best results with a gauge of 24 stitches and 28 rows to 10cm (4 inches) over stocking stitch on 4mm (US 6) needles after blocking. While gauge and tension are not absolutely crucial for this project, maintaining consistency will enhance the final look of your shawlette.
Important Note: To ensure you get the most from your skein of yarn, it is advisable to weigh it before you begin. You will typically use about 20% of your yarn for the initial section of your shawlette, allowing you to manage your skein effectively throughout your project.
Elevate your knitting skills with this stunning shawlette/scarf pattern, a perfect fit for any season or occasion. Happy Knitting!
