Simple Things

This simple little shawlette is designed to use just one skein (360 yards) of a particularly lovely handpainted yarn. Worked from the center top down, it’s knit in easy stockinette stitch with increases along the edges and a center spine. Garter eyelet ridges along the bottom edge prevent curling and add texture while still letting the yarn draw focus.

A handy small traveling project, it's also good for beginners who want to try a shaped shawl and eyelets without a lot of complicated patterning.

Worn draped around your shoulders as a small shawl or tied around your neck as a triangular scarf, Simple Things is versatile and easy to throw on with just about anything and add a little color, softness, warmth, and handknit goodness to your day.

please note: though getting exact gauge isn’t crucial for this project in terms of fit, it was designed to use nearly the entire 360-yard skein of yarn called for. Please have at least 350 yards to use for this project and check your
