The Sapphire & Faded Jeans Crescent Shaped Lace Shawlette is as easy and comfy to wear as your favorite pair of jeans, but subtly studded with cobalt blue “sapphire” blue seed beads in a center panel of diamond shaped lace. It finishes in a pretty pointed lace border. I chose to knit it in 2 skeins (220 yards each skein) of Cascade’s DK weight Ultra Pima Paints 100 Percent Pima Cotton in their beautiful variegated Denim shade to further my theme. Please note that I cannot guarantee the finished size will be big enough on this shawlette unless it is worked in cotton or mostly cotton blend yarn since it will not stretch out as much as mine did when blocked. This shawlette is knit in one piece from the top down in stockinette stitch with yarn over increases that form 3 wedges as it expands towards the border. It is officially a semicircular shape, but forms a crescent as you knit it because the ends begin to curve inwards, and is over 6 ½ feet in length end to end. I include complete row counts for the body of the shawlette in the pattern even though you are simply working from place marker to place marker with the exception of a small center panel of lace. There are no charts since the patterns themselves are simple. Knit one up to add a fun kick to your denim!
