Molène Shawlette

Discover the beauty of Molène, a delightful crescent shawl named after a picturesque small island in Brittany. This charming knitting pattern is constructed bottom-up, making it a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels. Begin with a stunning wide lace border, skillfully worked vertically through just 31 stitches, creating an intricate design that adds elegance to your shawlette. Learn more about the lace pattern.

Once the lace border is complete, you will pick up stitches along one of the long sides (specifically from the first yarn-over of the odd rows) to finish off the garter stitch top of the shawl. The clever use of decreases and short rows beautifully shapes the crescent form, allowing the shawl to curve gracefully in the center and snugly hug your neck. This technique not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also adds comfort, making the garment perfect for wearing in any season.

Ideal for both beginners and experienced knitters, the Molène shawl works up quickly, allowing you to create a striking accessory in just a few evenings. Whether you're looking to make a cozy wrap for cooler months or a light layer for spring and summer, this adaptable pattern fits the bill perfectly.
