Product Description
Wrap yourself in a bit of springtime any time of the year. Spiraling openwork creates a generous circular shawl that can go anywhere and may be styled in different ways. About 100 grams of sock yarn makes the shawlette pictured. If you have another skein of yarn, you can keep going, adding additional tiers for a longer length.
Springtime Shawlette by Edie Eckman
What is Being Made
The Springtime Shawlette is a circular knitted wrap designed by Edie Eckman that can be worn and styled in multiple ways. This generous shawlette features a one-size design with a finished circumference of 24 inches [61 cm] and a width of 9 inches [23 cm] to the tips of the edging. The design uses approximately 100 grams of sock yarn for the pictured version, though crafters can extend the shawlette by adding additional tiers if they have extra yarn available.
Techniques and Construction
This advanced-level knitting project employs spiraling openwork construction to create an elegant, airy fabric. The shawlette is built using a circular shawl structure that allows for versatile styling options. The pattern incorporates several fundamental knitting techniques that require intermediate to advanced skill levels to execute properly.
Stitches Used
The Springtime Shawlette utilizes the following essential knitting stitches and techniques:
- Knit stitch – the foundational stitch for the fabric base
- Purl stitch – used in combination with knit stitches for textural variation
- Yarn overs – creates the openwork and lace elements characteristic of the design
- K2tog (knit two together) – a decrease stitch that shapes the garment
- Wrap and turn – a short-row technique that adds shaping and dimension
Materials and Tools
The Springtime Shawlette requires fingering-weight yarn, classified as CYCA #1. The sample pictured was created using Sweet Georgia Tough Love Sock yarn, which is composed of 80% superwash merino wool and 20% nylon. One skein in the Lawn colorway (4 oz [115 g] / 425 yds [388 m]) was used for the featured version, requiring 333 yards [304.5 m] of yarn.
Knitting needles in US size 6 [4 mm] are required, or the size needed to obtain proper gauge. The recommended gauge is 20 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches [10 cm] in stockinette stitch, blocked. Checking gauge before beginning is essential to ensure the finished measurements are accurate.
