Little Wavelet Shawl

The Little Wavelet Shawl is a delightful, smaller version of the full-size Wavelet Shawl, specifically designed to take advantage of mini-skeins! Knitting enthusiasts will love how this pattern showcases the vibrant colors of your Irish Artisan Yarn (IAY) Hand-Dyed 4Ply Yarn. Each mini-skein is made from 100% Superwash Merino wool and boasts 80m (approximately 87 1/2 yards) per 20g mini-skein, providing the perfect blend of comfort and style.

This stunning shawl requires a total of 100g (or 400m) of yarn, which can be achieved using five 20g mini-skeins, each in a unique shade. Alternatively, you can utilize a single 100g skein that’s 400m long. The pattern offers incredible versatility, making it adaptable to whatever yarn you have on hand!

If you have a little less yarn available—around 90g total—you can still create a beautiful shawl by simply working fewer repeats of the border rows, thus crafting a slightly smaller size that maintains its charm. Conversely, if you find yourself with more than 110g of yarn, you can opt to make a larger shawl size by including additional repeats of the border rows, allowing for a more dramatic and statement-making piece.

Before you cast on and begin your knitting journey, take a moment to decide on your preferred color order for the mini-skeins. Label them as Shades A-E, and consider various arrangements such as dark to light, light to dark, or an eye-catching random order. For inspiration, the shawl shown in the images was knitted using a gradient from darkest to lightest shade, incorporating five shades from the Irish Artisan Yarn Advent collection from 2021.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, the Little Wavelet Shawl pattern is the perfect project to showcase your creativity and yarn collection. Dive into your stash and start knitting this stunning shawl today!
