Cell Block Shawlette

We’ve all been there—purchasing a stunning skein of variegated yarn, only to have it sit untouched in your stash because you can't find the perfect pattern that is both interesting and harmonious with the colors. This beautifully crafted shawlette pattern is specifically designed to showcase those lovely, hand-painted yarns, incorporating elegant drop stitches for a visually appealing effect when encountering dominant colors.

This pattern works best with hand-painted variegated yarns that feature distinct sections of color, allowing each hue to shine.
