Atalanta sideways

Atalanta is the vibrant and spirited character inspired by Händel's opera, Xerxes, and this stunning knitting pattern captures her essence perfectly. This unique design features a strong, simple aesthetic adorned with a funky, almost chunky lace border that adds a playful touch.

• Experience the joy of knitting this piece sideways in one seamless section—cast on just a few stitches and bind off only a handful. This technique lends itself to an effortlessly stylish finish.

• The pattern cleverly turns at the midpoint, allowing you to utilize every inch of that precious yarn skein, maximizing your crafting pleasure.

• Gauge is unimportant for this versatile design, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels! Whether you want to knit tightly or loosely, you'll end up with a beautiful finished piece.

• Customize your project size easily—create anything from a chic 1-skein shawlette perfect for a night out to a generous wrap ideal for snuggling on a cold evening.

The body is crafted in plain stockinette, but if you prefer a fully reversible shawl, consider knitting it in garter stitch instead for a cozy texture.
