Drop Stitch Shawlette

Discover this easy beginner knitting pattern to create a beautiful shawlette, perfect for wrapping around your neck on chilly days. This simple design features two popular knitting techniques: garter stitch for a cozy texture and drop stitch for an elegant, airy feel. The finished shawlette measures 13.5 x 53 inches (35 x 135 cm), but feel free to customize the size to your liking! Just continue knitting until you’ve used up all your yarn. This pattern is worked flat on straight knitting needles, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
