The sample shawlette shown is crafted from luxurious Malabrigo Sock yarn, and it requires:

• 1 full 100g skein of Ravelry Red, used as the main color (MC)
• Approximately 40g of Ochre for color 1 (C1)
• Approximately 20g of Violeta Africana for color 2 (C2)

This lovely shawlette measures 24 inches (60 cm) around the neckline edge, with a length of approximately 19 inches (46 cm) from the neck edge to the points, making it the perfect accessory to drape over your shoulders or wrap around your neck. The pattern includes a detailed schematic designed to be colored in while you choose your perfect color combination. A smaller version of the schematic is included as a picture here, allowing you to visualize your design. The schematic is accurate in terms of the number and positioning of points but features fewer stripes for ease of coloring.
