Riptide135 Shawlette

RIPTIDE135 SHAWLETTE 

Riptide135 Shawlette is a little sister to the Riptide135 pattern, just using 1 skein of DK yarn.

It is worked lengthwise, tip to tip, producing a long, shallow, triangular shawlette/ scarf. The neat smooth edges envelop strips of simple increases and decreases, producing a chain-like textured pattern that rips through the stocking stitch - ode to my tennis injuries of ripped muscles ;)

The pattern has both fully written and chart instructions.
