Knit on the bias sideways and asymmetrical, Random Monet Shawlette features bordering on all 3 sides, and has textural interest in your choice of 3 different inserts in which you play the artist and place the inserts “randomly” wherever you feel like knitting one. Written directions are given for the basic shawlette body, which is knit in garter stitch, and also for eyelet lace, drop stitch, and beaded inserts. The border is a simple lace scallop that is knit on the longest side of the shawl. The shawlette you see pictured was knit in 2 skeins of Madelinetosh’s Tosh Sport Merino Wool yarn in the Mansfield’s Garden Party colorway in sport weight (270 yards per skein). The finished shawl is about five feet in length and 22 inches at its deepest width after blocking, but directions are also given as to how to increase the shawlette’s size if you happen to have extra yarn available and want a larger shawl. Because of its unique shape, the shawlette can be worn and wrapped in many different ways. The border is given in chart and written instructions.
