Longstreet in Two Colors

Transform your knitting experience with this stunning asymmetric shawlette pattern! Designed with an elegant cast-on edge of only 11 stitches — featuring 3 stitches in striking color A and 8 stitches in vibrant color B — this shawlette is perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters. The delightful ruffle edge, created with color B, is knitted along with the shawlette using simple kfb (knit front and back) increases, yarn overs, and a graceful binding-off technique. As you progress, the ruffle elegantly expands, adding a lovely, flowing dynamic that enhances the overall beauty of the shawlette. You can continue working until you reach your desired length or follow the specified measurements in the pattern for a perfectly crafted piece.

To finish this charming shawlette, an I-cord bind-off technique is utilized, creating a smooth and polished edge that elevates the final product. For an extra touch of flair, consider adding an optional bead to your I-cord for an eye-catching detail that will surely impress!

This captivating pattern incorporates two colors of yarn, requiring approximately 450 yards of color A and 225 yards of color B for a beautifully balanced look. Please note that changing the weight of yarn or the needle size may affect the yardage requirements, so adjust accordingly to suit your personal preferences.

Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this shawlette pattern is a versatile choice that effortlessly combines style and comfort. Ready to create your own masterpiece? Download this free or paid pattern now and embark on a delightful knitting journey!
