Transverse Shawlette

This beautiful shawlette, showcased in the image, was crafted using just one skein of Madelintosh Pashmina yarn. However, the versatility of this pattern allows you to use virtually any yarn in any weight, as the shawl is designed to be worked sideways. This means you can get creative with your yarn choices! The knitting process involves increasing stitches on the first half until you’ve utilized about half of your yarn, followed by a series of decreases on the second half to shape the shawl perfectly. Detailed instructions for creating this lovely shawl, along with exact step-by-step directions for the version pictured, are conveniently included in the pattern.

The finished shawl measured approximately 40 inches across the top and 20 inches down the center back before blocking. After blocking, you can expect the dimensions to expand to about 64 inches across and 26 inches down the center back. Keep in mind that these measurements are approximate and can vary based on how severely you choose to block your piece. Enjoy the flexibility and creativity that this pattern offers, making it a perfect addition to your knitting repertoire!
