This pattern is very adaptable. You can actually make this shawlette / wrap / scarf as big or as small as you wish. I’ll give you approximate measurements on how to knit the shawlettes shown on the pattern. The height of them is approx. 30 cm (12 in) and wingspan approx. 255 cm (100 in). Also the size depends on how you block it and which kind of fingering weight yarns you are going to use.

The look of your shawlette depends on what kind of yarn scraps you have and how many of them you want to use. So, you decide how the body section’s striping is going to look like.

If you want a busy and colorful shawlette, use as many colors as possible and mix your color sections randomly. If you want a more harmonious shawlette, use only 2-3 main colors. Also arrange their knitting order more carefully. If you want wider stripes at the end, use your smaller minis first and your bigger minis towards the end.

I also give you instructions on what to do with the yarn ends, how to do the color changes and what to do if you don’t want to play yarn chicken.
