KnitGirl Shawlette

Listing is for the knitting pattern (instructions) only.

Got a skein (or 2) of precious vacation fingeringweight yarn that’s been waiting and waiting for a special project? This pattern is your permission to finally cast it on.

A wider, and trianglular, version of the Life of A KnitGirl scarf, this project is worked in the same lace pattern but with fingering yarn and different shaping. Worked side-to-side as a long triangle, size xs is more of a kerchief, while a small will make a light triangular-ish scarf, and size medium (shown) uses up more of your yarn and heads into shawlette territory.

This is one of those projects to savor. The lace pattern takes some time and attention to memorize it, and that’s a good thing--you can’t doom scroll and knit at the same time (I’ve tried!) and the feel of a luxurious yarn in your hands makes it more like a meditation.

What will you do with your one (or 2) wild and precious skeins? Sometimes you only need to let the soft animal of your knitting needles love what it loves:)
