Wild Wings Shawlette

Discover the elegance of this stunning shawlette pattern, available in two distinct sizes: a small version perfect for dressing up any outfit, and a large version designed for those who want to make a statement with their knitting. This versatile pattern allows you to create a beautiful accessory using just one or two skeins of yarn, making it an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels.

The design begins with casting on stitches for the bottom edge, followed by a few rows of garter stitch to establish the foundation. As you progress, you'll delve into a series of short-rows that are cleverly executed by turning at the next right-side (RS) purl stitch. This easy approach means you won’t have to worry about whether a yarn over can be paired with a decrease, simplifying your knitting experience. Once the short-rows are completed, finish with three rows of garter stitch at the top edge, and bind off firmly to create a beautiful crescent shape that enhances the shawlette’s drape.

This shawlette looks fabulous in any solid or semi-solid color yarn, but if you prefer a hand-painted colorway, opt for subtle tones to ensure the intricate lace pattern stands out beautifully. Perfect for both gifts and personal use, this shawlette will quickly become a staple in your wardrobe, adding that touch of sophistication to any ensemble.

Originally designed for Unwound, a renowned yarn shop in La Crosse, Wisconsin, this pattern encapsulates the spirit of creativity and craftsmanship. Whether you’re looking to enhance your knitting repertoire or create a delightful gift, this shawlette pattern is a must-try.
