Chevron Lace Shawl Scarf

I love the look of wearing a large shawl with the pointed end facing front. Living in a warm climate, however, I don’t get to bring out my heavy knits very often. I designed this light scarf to mimic the look of a large shawl worn to the front. It is knit flat and then buttoned to form a triangle shawl without any ends dangling or adding bulk under your jacket. A perfect transitional piece with a light layer of warmth. It can also double as a small shawl for a young child or shoulder wrap! Have fun trying out all the ways it can be buttoned and worn.

I used 1 skein of Purl Soho Mulberry Merino yarn in Ballet Pink. It is a sport weight yarn and is 246 yards.
