As quick and easy as eating sorbet on a Summer’s day, this little triangle shawlette is just the pick-me-up for any wardrobe. Whether you toss it over your sunkissed shoulders in the cool evening breeze or reach for it in the frequently over air conditioned indoors, it’s the perfect size to keep in your bag for anytime you need a little extra warmth. Made with fingering weight yarn, it’s a great introduction to lace or a quick gift that will be much appreciated. Smaller than most traditional shawls, it’s easy to wear and very adaptable, no matter where life takes you. Make it in your favorite bright shade for a little pop of color, or in a classic neutral for wear-with-anything ease. It can also be easily adapted to other yarn weights and made bigger or smaller as your needs dictate.

Pattern is both fully charted and in written out format and includes thorough directions for making the shawlette as well as notes for adjusting the size and using different weights of yarn. As shown, it is 60 inches across the top and 27 inches from the top edge to the lower point. Shown in Spud and Chloe Fine in Glowworm colorway.
