Sparkling Waters Shawlette
Introducing the stunning Shawlette, a beautiful knitted accessory crafted with exquisite care and attention to detail. This charming shawlette is named after the luxurious yarn it was made with, Arcane Fibre Works Sparkling Waters. The design features an elegant lace border that is worked first, followed by a delightful short-row body and finished with a simple yet classic garter stitch edging. It's the perfect piece to add a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
Finished Size: This lovely shawlette measures 16 inches in depth and has a generous wingspan of 62 inches, making it a versatile accessory for various styling options. Our modification directions included in the pattern allow you to customize the design to suit your personal preferences!
Yarn: The shawlette is knit using the discontinued Arcane Fibre Works Sparkling Waters, a luxurious blend of 75% Merino wool, 20% Nylon, and 5% Lurex that brings a soft shimmer to the finished piece. The yarn offers 437 yards per 100 grams, and the sample used a complete 100 grams. If you're looking for a substitute, this pattern will work beautifully with any fingering weight yarn, including the Arcane Fibre Works Merino/Nylon 80/20 blend, which also ensures a lovely drape and feel.
Needles: For optimal results, you will need a size 5 US (3.75mm) 24-inch circular needle, or any size that will help you obtain the perfect gauge for your project.
Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is important for the overall look of your shawlette; aim for 14 stitches and 28 rows per inch in wet-blocked stockinette stitch. When unblocked, you should have approximately 5 stitches per inch. Each blocked repeat measures about 3 inches wide by 1.75 inches deep. While gauge is not critical for this pattern, variations can affect the yardage used and the final drape of your piece.
This gorgeous shawlette pattern is ideal for knitters looking to create an eye-catching accessory that showcases their skills. Whether you're attending a special event, enjoying a night out, or simply adding to your wardrobe, this shawlette is sure to impress.
