Wavelet

Introducing the Wavelet Shawl, a stunning two-color trapezoidal shawl designed in lightweight fingering weight yarn that elegantly wraps around your neck or drapes gracefully over your shoulders. This captivating shawl is crafted from tip to tip, featuring a delightful combination of increases and decreases in soft, squishy garter stitch. The rhythmic stripes and charming tiny bobbles make this knitting project both engaging and relaxing, perfect for knitters of all skill levels.

The centerpiece of the Wavelet Shawl showcases a beautiful wavy lace pattern, achieved through multiple yarn overs, adding an intricate touch that enhances its visual appeal. One of the standout features of this pattern is its clever color management—there’s no need to cut the yarn at color changes! The pattern provides clear instructions on how to seamlessly transition between colors, resulting in only four ends to weave in at the finish. This means less time spent on finishing and more time enjoying your gorgeous new shawl!

For the best results, we recommend using 2 skeins of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (100% Merino Wool) in contrasting colors. The sample shawl is made with the beautiful colorways Silver Fox (colorway 1) and London Cosmopolitan (colorway 2), showcasing how well these shades complement each other. However, feel free to explore other fingering weight yarns in two different colors that inspire your creativity!

The total yardage required for this project is approximately 400 yards (365 meters) for colorway 1 and 185 yards (170 meters) for colorway 2. Whether you're looking to create a unique gift for a loved one or a cozy accessory for yourself, the Wavelet Shawl is sure to impress.
