a uniquely constructed shawl (or shawlette) for any weight yarn, with customization options galore
This pattern is part of the Betiko Collection, where it's joined by three other customizable shawls with the same construction.
A couple fun things about this pattern: regardless of how big you make your shawl, you’ll never cast on or bind off more than a couple inches worth of stitches. There is also no seaming, no picking up stitches, and only as many ends to weave in as the 2 ends of each yarn you use.
Included are two versions of the pattern; the first is for the most basic, garter stitch edged Betiko, written as a normal pattern. The second is a customizable version, which explains how you’d go about plugging in your choices of stitch patterns, and also tells you how to make the wavy version, with a waving ribbed top section and a simple lace wavy outer edge.
Any version of the pattern can be made with stripes if you choose, and any version can be made in the standard three sizes pictured, or any other size, by simply working the sections until they are the size you want. Diagrams and notes explain how to work out the sizing and more, which is all included for ultimate customization, but don’t be afraid of the length of this pattern, as the actual piece is not hard to knit!
