Mar Menor Shawlette

Introducing the beautiful **Mar Menor Shawlette**—the perfect knitting project for both beginners and experienced knitters alike! This gorgeous shawlette is not only easy to wear but also incredibly fun to knit. It features an intriguing elongated crossed stitch pattern combined with delicate yarn over rows, all culminating in a stunning beaded picot cast off (with beads optional for those who prefer a more minimalist look).

The unique shaping of the Mar Menor Shawlette is achieved through the clever use of two columns of paired increases, which radiate elegantly from the center back cast-on. This innovative design allows the shawlette to sit comfortably across the shoulders, making it a perfect accessory for any outfit. The design incorporates long front sections created by double increases on every other row, making it versatile and easy to wrap around the neck like a stylish scarf.

Important Note:
To ensure the knitting process goes smoothly, stitch markers are used to delineate the two ‘spine’ stitches (represented by dotted lines on the schematic in the pattern). Be mindful that these markers can sometimes slip beneath the yarn overs. It's essential to keep them positioned in front of the ‘spine’ stitches. If you prefer a more secure method, consider using removable (locking) markers and place them directly on the ‘spine’ stitches themselves. Remember to move the markers up as you progress every few rows; after a few rows, the two ‘spine’ columns should become clearly visible, helping you maintain the proper structure of your shawlette.

The Mar Menor Shawlette pattern is available now, offering knitters a chance to create a stunning piece that they can wear for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a lightweight wrap for a summer evening or a cozy layer for chilly days, this shawlette is sure to make a statement.
