The Seed Shawlette is the perfect little accessory to wear everyday. Tiny enough to be kept in your bag and tied on when that cool autumn breeze or icy air conditioning dances across your neck. It’s even light enough to wear on a summer day to liven up a linen dress or a plain T.

Designed from the top down, this kerchief-style shawl is a simple triangle construction. Sections of simple stockinette are broken up by a row of eyelets, reminiscent of little seeds. The border is a delicate leaf-inspired lace motif.

Just under 1 skein of a drape-y single-ply yarn is all you need to knit this light and cozy mini shawl. Mix things up and make a super scrappy version with small leftovers from past projects or mini skeins waiting for the perfect project to call home.
