Pattern Martina Behm 9/2014
Easy
Shawlettes in garter stitch are my
favorite: They look great in a colorful yarn,
they are squishy and warm your neck, and
they are so easy to knit that even beginners
will enjoy making them. This shawlette is
named “Easy” because it is just that: So
simple to knit, but the biased construction
and change of knitting direction will bring
out the best of a multicolored yarn. It is long
and skinny and can be wrapped around
several times, or tied with a knot – and it
uses only 459 yards of fingering weight yarn.
Notes
You start in one corner and knit a long
triangle until 50% of your yarn is used up.
Then you change the direction and
Measurements modularly add a second triangle (no seaming
Length: ca. 200 cm (80 inches), required) – and you have made a colorful
Depth ca. 24 cm (10 inches) addition to your wardrobe!
