Selena
Introducing the stunning Selena Shawlette – a beautifully crafted, semi-circular shawlette designed for knitters of all skill levels. Perfectly suited for sock weight yarn, this elegant piece is knitted sideways in a captivating striped garter stitch pattern. What sets the Selena Shawlette apart is its delicate floral border, which is added afterwards by picking up stitches along the gently curved edge and knitting top-down for a refined finish.
This versatile shawlette allows you to adjust its size effortlessly by working more stripes and additional border repeats, with detailed instructions provided for your convenience. You can further customize it by experimenting with different yarn weights or needle sizes to create a truly unique accessory. The design is straightforward enough for novice lace knitters to follow easily, yet intricate enough to engage and challenge advanced knitters alike. A foundational knowledge of basic crochet techniques will help you finish this delightful project gracefully.
The Selena Shawlette requires only 1 full skein of your chosen base color yarn and 0.55 skein of a complementary contrast color, adding up to a total of 620 meters. This makes it the perfect project for using up odd skeins of yarn from your stash, giving new life to leftover materials. The pattern is thoughtfully written and includes a detailed chart for the lace border to cater to different knitting styles.
With its feminine silhouette and elegant design, the Selena Shawlette is a wardrobe essential for any season, making it an excellent addition to any knitting collection. It is beautifully showcased in Juno Fibre Arts Alice Sock yarn, specifically in the colors Boudoir (contrast color) and Potpourri (main color).
