Woolco Shawlette

Discover the charm of vintage knitting with this exquisite shawlette pattern that features a beautifully intricate lace design from the Woolco Knitting and Crocheting Manual, published in 1916. This timeless lace pattern has been carefully charted and translated into contemporary knitting abbreviations, making it accessible for modern knitters. Designed to be worked lengthwise, this shawlette knits up quickly, allowing you to create a stunning accessory in no time.

After completing 30 elegant "points" of lace, you'll transition seamlessly into the crescent-shaped shawl portion. This innovative construction utilizes short rows to shape the shawl—without the need for wraps, which many knitters find tedious and cumbersome. This feature makes the knitting experience more enjoyable while maintaining a polished finish.

This delightful shawlette pattern uses just slightly over 1 skein of Cascade Heritage yarn and requires US #4 (3.5mm) needles for optimal results. Perfect for knitters at any level, this pattern combines vintage elegance with modern convenience. Elevate your knitting repertoire today with this stunning shawlette that is sure to become a wardrobe staple!
