Got a couple of gorgeous hanks of handpainted or variegated yarn? The slip-stitch pattern of this shawlette creates a textured fabric perfect for mixing up and highlighting their colors. Shaping creates a lovely curve that makes it easy to wear, especially when fastened with a special piece of shawl jewelry.

Beginning from a Garter Tab Cast On, the piece is worked flat from top down, ending with the clean finish provided by an I-cord Bind Off. This pattern is easily adjusted if a little more or less yardage is available. The wrong side is attractive, so this piece could be reversible if ends are woven in carefully.
