Jagger Shawl

Introducing the Jagger shawlette, an elegant and intricate design perfect for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills. This stunning piece begins with a delicate gauzy border adorned with large, sparkling diamonds. From this beautiful border, you will pick up stitches to create the enchanting center section of the shawlette. The central area is crafted using stocking stitch, which lends stability to the light and airy mesh border, resulting in a gracefully arching ribbon shape that is both flattering and artistic.

The knitting process for the Jagger shawlette is uniquely structured, as the center portion is knitted from the border towards the neck. This means that with each row, the length of the knitting will diminish, creating a lovely, tapered finish. For ease of use, the mesh edging pattern is provided in two formats: both written out row by row and charted, ensuring that every knitter can find their preferred method to follow along.

**Skill Level**: Intermediate. This pattern requires knowledge of basic knitting techniques including knit, purl, lacework, simple increases and decreases, as well as finishing techniques to bring your shawlette to life.

**Finished Measurements**: The Jagger shawlette measures approximately 13 ½ inches (34.5 cm) tall at the widest point, 8 ½ inches (21.5 cm) tall at the end point, and has an impressive length of around 86 inches (218.5 cm) along the outer edge. It’s the perfect accessory to wrap around your shoulders for a cozy feel while adding a touch of glamour to any outfit.

**Yarn Requirements**: For this pattern, we recommend using Ancient Arts Yarns in the 4 Ply Fingering / Sock weight (100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester Wool). Each 100g skein provides you with 437 yards (400 m), and for the Jagger shawlette, you will need just 1 skein in the stunning colorway Aztec Gold.

**Gauge**: Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 42 rows per repeat to ensure a finished size of approximately 5 ½ inches (14 cm) in width. This will help you create that ideal balance between the delicate mesh border and the sturdy center section.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your knitting skills or create a beautiful, wearable art piece, the Jagger shawlette is an exceptional pattern to add to your collection. Explore your creativity as you bring this exquisite design to life, and enjoy the process of knitting a piece that’s not only a joy to create but also a delight to wear!
