Carrie
If you're looking to expand your knitting skills and create a stunning accessory, this Entrelac shawlette pattern is the perfect project for you! Our detailed guide will demystify the art of Entrelac knitting and help you produce a fabulous shawlette that is unique and sure to impress your friends—it’s not something they will find on any store shelf!
Working on this Entrelac piece with a slowly variegated yarn is incredibly rewarding. As you knit, you'll watch the colors shift and change beautifully, creating a unique fabric that tells its own story. The "Carrie" shawlette is the second triangle Entrelac shawl pattern released by Yellow Ribbon Knits, and it stands out as the most dramatic design in our collection. With its two sharply pointed ends, this long and elegant shawlette is lightweight enough to wear throughout the year, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
The "Carrie" shawlette is constructed from one pointed end and allows you to customize her length based on the amount of yarn you choose to use. We recommend approximately 100g/400m of yarn, which will vary depending on your desired size and the specific look you want to achieve.
You also have the flexibility to change the size of the individual squares by simply increasing or decreasing the number of stitches in each square or triangle. However, for those new to this technique, we recommend knitting the pattern as written on your first attempt. Once you feel comfortable with the Entrelac method, feel free to experiment with adjusting the square sizes to make the design your own.
As a helpful reminder, please note that the last picture shows the shawlette BEFORE blocking. Blocking is a key step that enhances the final appearance and shape of your work, so be sure to follow this essential process!
Start your knitting adventure with the beautifully unique "Carrie" Entrelac shawlette today, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something special that showcases your skills and creativity!
