Crescendo Shawlette
Explore the art of knitting with this beautifully crafted crescent shawlette pattern, designed for knitters of all skill levels. This shawlette is knitted in one continuous piece and includes both written and charted instructions for your convenience. Perfect for enhancing your wardrobe, the finished piece measures 40cm/16ins deep at its widest point and stretches to a lovely length of 120cm/47ins, making it an ideal accessory for any season.
Materials Needed: To create this stunning shawlette, you will need a 4mm/US 6 circular needle, preferably 80cm in length. Additionally, gather 100g/4oz of Happy Go Knitty yarn, a luxurious blend of 80% merino wool, 10% cashmere, and 10% nylon in 4ply/fingering weight, approximately 365 meters in length. We recommend the colorway 'West Coast Granite' for an elegant touch. Don’t forget a yarn needle for weaving in ends, along with a blocking mat and pins to showcase your finished project beautifully.

Gauge/Tension Information: To ensure your shawlette turns out as desired, achieve a gauge of 22 stitches and 32 rows per 10cm/4ins over stocking stitch using 4mm/US 6 needles when unblocked. After blocking, the gauge should adjust to 20 stitches and 26 rows per 10cm/4ins. Obtaining the correct tension is essential for a well-fitting and aesthetically pleasing shawlette.
