#fabricfiberfun
#fabricfiberfun is the perfect introduction to shawl knitting, designed exclusively for Cloth Carousel in Winters, CA. This asymmetric triangle shawlette is a versatile accessory that can be crafted from a single skein of sock yarn or multiple skeins for a larger, more striking shawl. With its four-row cable pattern, this design makes it an ideal first shawl project for beginner and experienced knitters alike.
YARN: For this project, we recommend using Less Traveled Yarn in the colorway “757,” which provides approximately 460 yards per 100 grams. This lightweight and colorful yarn will enhance your finished piece, making it a stunning addition to any wardrobe.
NEEDLES: You'll need US4 / 3.5mm circular knitting needles, with a recommended length of 32 inches (80 cm) or longer for optimal comfort and ease while knitting your shawlette.
NOTIONS: Don't forget your essential knitting tools—a tapestry needle and a cable needle will be needed to help you finish your shawl without hassle.
GAUGE: The pattern gauge is 21 stitches by 28 rows, which equals 4 inches in Garter stitch after wet blocking. Adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve this gauge. Remember, a different gauge can significantly affect the size of your shawl and may lead to a game of yarn chicken!
SIZE: This pattern is designed for a wingspan of 53 inches (140 cm) and a deepest point of 11 inches (28 cm), but it’s easily customizable to make your shawl as large or small as you desire. Embrace your creativity as you knit a piece that reflects your unique style!
Whether you're looking to create a cozy wrap for chilly evenings or a stylish accessory for a casual outing, this shawlette pattern, #fabricfiberfun, offers an enjoyable and rewarding knitting experience. Dive into your next project with confidence and watch your skills blossom!
