Just like its name, this shawlette is vibrant and bold, making it a fabulous accessory to liven up your outfit on any cloudy or wintery day.
An Aran weight yarn in a vibrant color, knit up on big needles, creates definite stitch impact! The naturally waved edge created by the lace stitch pattern is finished off with a few rows of Garter stitch to further accentuate its loveliness.
A gently shaped, long crescent shape is created with clever short rows and allows this to be easily worn as a scarf or shawl.
A versatile design that has lots of personality to complement its wearer!

This was my first experience with knitting lace. I had a rocky start due to a learning curve, plus I used Malabrigo Rio yarn--slightly more lightweight than the Malabrigo Worsted recommended and in a multicolor pink, purple and beige. I absolutely love and cherish my shawlette, and wear it as a lightweight bed jacket when I knit in the evening, as well as a scarf during the daytime. I plan to make up this pattern again--this time using the Malabrigo Worsted or something comparable and in a solid color so the lacework will really show up nicely.
