That sense. That feeling! Je Ne Sais Quoi is an English pattern uniting the French idiom with a part shawl, part scarf, part cowl, in a “I just don’t know what” fashionista design packing in a ton of attitude! Dare down the hottest summer days donned in your carefree hand knit, Je Ne Sais Quoi, with mindset to match. Add beads for a tres chic look or go without for a casual fashion flare.
The easy (not beginner) level tech edited / test knit pattern is fully written. Recommended skills - picot cast on, short rows, decrease, bind off. BOWT demo here. Note: pattern includes both the full pattern as well as a compiled version from the mystery knit-a-long in June 2018. The compiled version also includes the Find Your Yarn-I-tude game.
Picking the best yarn: approximately 300 yards per 100 grams of your favorite sport weight yarn, given the summer appeal and light weight nature. The design works up in 77% main color and 23% contrasting color. Not into stripes? It would also look smashing in a single-skein gradient, semi-solid, tonal, or single color too!
