The Diamond Shawlette

Discover the joy of knitting with our delightful asymmetrical shawlette pattern, designed for knitters with a bit of experience looking for a fun and achievable project! This shawlette is knit side to side, allowing you to easily pick up stitches to create an enchanting simple diamond lace pattern that will add elegance to any outfit.

The body of the shawl features a beautiful combination of garter-stitch stripes, where you'll increase stitches on the bottom edge and decrease at the opposite end. This unique construction results in an asymmetrical triangle shape, boasting a long, slender end on one side and a wider expanse on the other. The intriguing silhouette not only showcases your knitting skills but also makes for a striking accessory.

At the perimeter of the shawlette, you'll find a charming lace edge, crafted using an easy-to-follow garter-stitch based motif. With yarn overs (yo's) and slip-slip-knit (ssk) or knit-two-together (k2tog) techniques, the diamond edging comes to life, creating a captivating finish. We provide both a charted version and a line-by-line written guide to ensure clarity, catering to all knitting preferences.

One of the best features of this versatile shawlette is its multiple styling options. You can wear it in various ways, enhancing not just your wardrobe but also your creative knitting journey. Elevate your collection with this adaptable piece!

For this design, you will need approximately 250 yards of your main color (MC) and 150 yards of a contrasting color (CC). For the CC, I used just shy of a full skein of Spring Gate's luxurious Cashmere/Bamboo blend, ensuring that your finished shawlette feels as good as it looks.

With clear instructions and an inviting design, this shawlette pattern promises to be a rewarding addition to your knitting repertoire. Enjoy the process of creating and wearing this stunning accessory!
