Discover the versatility of this clever piece, which can be styled as either a shawlette or a cozy scarf. Its unique design allows it to be comfortably wrapped around your neck while adding a touch of interest to your outfit. This project is not only fun to make but also offers an opportunity to unleash your creativity by incorporating multiple colors, whether you choose the sample’s two-color pattern or create your own vibrant combination.
YARN: The sample is beautifully crafted using Mrs. Crosby Hat Box yarn (317 yds / 290 m per 100 g skein, consisting of 75% superwash merino wool, 15% silk, and 10% cashmere). If you prefer to substitute with another yarn, ensure it is Sport weight with approximately 270 yds / 250 m for color 1 (C1) and 245 yds / 225 m for color 2 (C2). This will ensure your piece maintains its intended drape and warmth.
NEEDLES & NOTIONS: You'll need a size 6 US / 4 mm circular needle for this project, along with a row counter to help track your progress and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky yarn ends once your masterpiece is complete.
GAUGE: Aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 44 rows in Garter stitch to achieve a measurement of 4” / 10 cm. While gauge is not crucial for this delightful shawlette/scarf, keep in mind that variations may affect the overall size of your finished piece and the quantity of yarn required. Let your personal touch shine through as you create a stunning accessory perfect for any season!
Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern is sure to bring joy and a sense of accomplishment. Happy knitting!
