Merinette

Merinette is a fun bandana-style cowlette. It uses similar stitch patterns to my larger kite shawl - Merin. It’s a quick and easy pattern with a small palette of stitches to create the garter lace pattern. Merinette is perfect for those 5 x 20g mini skein sets. Pick your favourite colours and start knitting.
