Kinta

Kinta is a versatile and elegant light shawlette, designed with a simple yet beautiful eyelet mesh stitch pattern that is easy to memorize. This shawlette is crafted from the bottom up, creating a stylish V shape with slightly angled ends that drape beautifully. Kinta is perfect for showcasing gradient yarns, but you can also choose a solid color or your favorite hand-dyed yarn to add a personal touch. For those warmer days, consider using lightweight linen, cotton, or hemp yarn, making Kinta the ideal summer accessory. Designed for fingering weight yarn, this adaptable pattern accommodates different yarn quantities, with size options available for one or two skeins.
