Refraction Shawlette

Introducing our elegant triangular shawlette pattern, designed for knitters who want to create a stunning accessory with a single skein of sock yarn. This versatile shawlette is knit from the top down, allowing for an enjoyable crafting experience that builds in complexity as you work through the diamond patterns.

The charming diamond motifs begin with a simple design that gradually "refracts" towards the beautiful edging, presenting a delightful challenge as you become more familiar with the stitches. The lace work is uniquely crafted on the right side only, ensuring that your project is easy to follow while still offering the satisfying elegance of intricate lace.

When taking on this project, it's crucial to pay attention to your gauge. Some of our testers experienced yarn shortages, so we recommend double-checking your gauge before you start. If you tend to knit loosely, consider dropping down a needle size to ensure you have enough yarn to complete your shawlette.

For those looking to create a larger shawl, one clever knitter successfully added an extra repeat of Chart B, using 484 yards of sock yarn in total. This resulted in a beautifully enlarged version of the original design, proving that even small modifications can yield impressive results.
