Tournesol Shawlette

For all you yarn enthusiasts and impulse buyers out there, the Tournesol Shawlette pattern is perfect for making the most of that beautiful single skein of fingering weight yarn that’s been waiting in your stash! This one-skein wonder is inspired by a stunning hank of Tosh Merino Light in Daffodil, featuring a vibrant earthy golden hue. The enchanting colors of this yarn led me to design a sunflower-themed shawlette, complete with intricately cabled petals and delightful eyelet “seeds” that capture the essence of sunflowers.

This versatile shawl is crafted sideways, offering ample opportunities for customization. You can easily adjust both the length and depth to match your personal style or yarn availability. Plus, the best part? Both the cast-on and bind-off processes require just one stitch, making it an approachable project for knitters looking to try something new without overwhelming complexity.

The cable panel is presented in both written instructions and a chart, ensuring all knitters can follow along with ease.

Dimensions: When following this pattern as written, it calls for one standard skein or hank of fingering or sock weight yarn, creating an exquisite shawl measuring approximately 55”/140 cm in length and 16”/41 cm in depth.

Skill Level: Intermediate. This pattern features a simple cable that may be worked at the end of the row, along with essential techniques such as yarn overs, k2tog (knit two together), kfb (knit front and back), pfb (purl front and back), and ptbl (purl through back loop). With attention to these stitches, you’ll create a stunning piece that showcases your crafting skills.

Ready to dive into your next project? Whip out that gorgeous skein of yarn and let your creativity blossom with the Tournesol Shawlette! This captivating accessory not only highlights your knitting prowess but also makes for a delightful gift or a warm hug on chilly days.
