Hettie Shawl

This Shawl is also available as part of Summer Trio mini eBook.
Hettie is an asymmetrical triangular-shaped shawl worked sideways with increases along one side.
The pattern is very easy to customize and fun to knit, ideal for travel knitting.
I designed this shawl during a road trip, thinking of a practical accessory for the coming summer. Not a massive shawl, but essential for windy days and evenings at the seaside.
For my shawlette, I choose a pretty inelastic ethical yarn made from worn denim (BettaKnit Love My Jeans; 339 yards/310 meters per 100 grams). Extremely soft, light yet firm, perfect to protect my neck without sweating.
If you want to use a superwash wool or other elastic fibre, keep in mind that the shawl may stretch quite a lot during wet-blocking.
Size: small (medium, large).
Finished measurements: 49¼ (65½, 78 ¾) inches/125 (166, 200) cm wingspan; 34½ (45¾, 60¾) inches/88 (116, 154.5) cm along BO edge, excluding fringes.
Yarn
♡ Approx. 375 (500, 600) yards/343 (455, 550) meters of heavy fingering/sport weight yarn plus approx. 33 (45, 55) yards/30 (40, 50) meters for fringes (optional).
Sample shown in size small.
Notions
♡ 36”/90cm or longer US6/4mm circular needle or different size to obtain gauge.
♡ 4 stitch markers.
♡ cable needle (optional, for traditional cables).
♡ crochet hook (optional, for fringes).
♡ darning needle.
Gauge (after blocking):
20 sts = 4 inches/10 cm in twisted cables pattern.
17 sts = 4 inches/10 cm in seed stitch.
15.5 sts & 44 rows = 4 inches/10 cm in garter stitch.
Skill level: Easy.
