Taos Shawlettes

Welcome to the world of Taos, New Mexico, where diverse cultures converge, just like the artistic inspirations found in our Taos Shawlettes knitting pattern. This exquisite design fuses delicate eyelet patterns with an open cross stitch technique, resulting in a strikingly contemporary accessory that pays homage to traditional craftsmanship.

To start your knitting journey, cast on a 23-stitch border pattern and work to your desired finished length. Next, pick up stitches along the closed edge to seamlessly create the body of the Taos. The charming Neckwarmer version is compact and uses approximately 200 yards (or 182 meters) of your favorite worsted yarn, making it an ideal quick project. To conserve yarn while ensuring ease of wear, this design features a convenient button closure. For those looking to create a larger, more dramatic Shawlette edition, you will need more than one skein of yarn.

Both sizes of the Taos Shawlettes promise to become staple pieces in your accessory collection, perfect for accentuating any outfit with a unique flair. The Taos pattern is specifically crafted to highlight those perfect skeins of hand-painted worsted yarn in your stash, allowing you to showcase your favorite colors beautifully.

When styling your Taos Shawlettes, the options are endless! Consider using a decorative shawl pin, adding a stylish button, or incorporating an i-cord drawstring for a customized touch. You can even thread a beautiful ribbon through to enhance its visual appeal! The Neckwarmer is thoughtfully designed to fit comfortably into the neckline of a coat, while the Shawlette version is ideal for draping over your shoulders or pulling snug at the neck for added warmth.

Experience the beauty and versatility of the Taos Shawlettes in your knitting repertoire. Whether you’re gifting it to a friend or treating yourself, this piece will certainly become a cherished addition to any wardrobe! Start your project today and bring a little bit of Taos into your life!
