Connie's Lane Shawlette
Shawlette Pattern: Create a stunning shawlette using just 1 skein of Dyed By Darrell Alpaca Linen Silk, which offers a generous 436 yards, or opt for 2 skeins of Rylie by Hikoo for this delicate design. You will need US size 4 (3.5mm) 40" circular knitting needles, along with 4 stitch markers to keep your project organized. Enhance your shawlette with Size 8 seed beads to add an elegant touch, and you’ll also require a beading needle with a thickness of .8 mm or a size 17 steel crochet hook for added convenience.
Shawl Pattern: For a more substantial shawl, use 2 skeins of Dyed By Darrell Alpaca Linen Silk (436 yards each) or 4 skeins of Rylie by Hikoo. You'll still use the same US size 4 (3.5mm) 40" circular knitting needles along with 4 stitch markers to help manage your stitches. Add texture and visual interest by incorporating Size 8 seed beads. As with the shawlette, a .8 mm beading needle or a size 17 steel crochet hook will be useful for this project.
Gauge: Achieve a perfect fit by establishing a gauge of 20 stitches over 4 inches in stockinette stitch, using the size 4 circular needle or an alternative size that allows you to meet the specified gauge. This is crucial for ensuring your finished product has the desired drape and fit.
Finished Size: When completed, the shawlette measures approximately 48 inches wide by 16 inches deep, making it a versatile accessory that can elevate any outfit.
