Paris mill

If you’ve been searching for a unique and engaging knitting project, look no further! The Paris Mill pattern transforms a simple sideways shape into a stunning diagonal stitch masterpiece. Initially, I thought the sideways design had run its course, but after stumbling upon this eye-catching diagonal stitch pattern, my creativity was reignited. Through a bit of swatching and experimenting with reversing the diagonals and the edging techniques, I was able to craft one of my favorite sideways shawlette patterns to date.

The Paris Mill shawlette begins with a delicate 3-stitch cast-on and, as you work your way through the pattern, you'll delight in discovering that you’ll only have 3 stitches left to bind off at the end. This charming design, created using Colinette Jitterbug yarn, is perfect for a small shoulder shawlette. However, the beauty of this pattern is its versatility; simply swap in a skein of sock or lace yarn with a greater yardage, and you can easily create a larger, more dramatic piece. Whether you're new to knitting or a seasoned pro, this pattern offers a refreshing challenge that will elevate your skills.

To accommodate a variety of knitting preferences, this user-friendly pattern includes both written and charted instructions. With easy-to-follow guidelines, you can choose the method that works best for your style. The sample shown features the vibrant Colinette Jitterbug in the lovely shade of Vatican Pie, but you can express your personal flair by selecting from a range of yarn substitutes showcased below. Get ready to embark on an exciting knitting journey with the Paris Mill shawlette pattern!
