What Does It Fuse?
The simplicity of garter stitch with the beauty of lace.
The Plain and Fancy Shawlette is the perfect accessory for your wardrobe.
It fuses the simplicity of garter stitch with the beauty of lace. Knit from the top down, it can be made in any weight yarn. Here’s a couple options:
- fingering weight yarn, as shown, for a light summer wrap.
- worsted weight for when the evenings grow cooler.
The size can also be adjusted, allowing you to knit it to any size desired.
