Bakersfield

The Bakersfield Shawlette is an exquisitely designed accessory that is both shallow and wide, making it ideal for the final chills of spring or the inaugural coolness of an air-conditioned summer. This versatile piece can be styled as either a shawlette or a fashionable scarf, and our model measures an impressive 84" in length and 15" in depth. Perfect for utilizing those smaller yardage skeins of precious sock yarn, this stunning shawlette is crafted using the luxurious Colinette Jitterbug yarn.

This captivating shawlette is worked side-to-side, incorporating a knitted-on edging that is seamlessly worked as you progress, adding to its charm and intricacy. Additionally, it is incredibly easy to adjust based on your personal preference for size or available yardage—simply continue knitting until you have used up half of your yarn!

To cater to different knitting styles, detailed instructions are provided in both written and charted format, ensuring clarity and accessibility for knitters of all skill levels.

Special thanks to Brennee for her expert knitting of the sample design, which beautifully showcases the shawlette's sophisticated aesthetic.

NOTE: In the increase and decrease sections of the pattern, you will keep the lace design in pattern while simultaneously increasing or decreasing every 4th row, adding a layer of complexity and visual appeal to your work.
