Emergency Shawlero! is a modular knitting project designed with shawl-knitting enthusiasts in mind. Easy comfort knitting combines with unique shaping to result in a warm little jacket with wide sleeve openings.

This is very likely one of those patterns that can be adjusted to and knit at any gauge, but the current .PDF focuses on providing detailed instructions for the s/m sample shown in the dk/worsted range. It also includes notes on how to customize your project for a larger size.

The current sample shows off bright fall-color scraps in Cascade Superwash 220.

Sizes:
One size in the free pattern fits s/m or chest circumferences from 32-38”/81-96cm. Fit is fairly free. You’ll be able to use this .PDF as a solid basis for customizing your top for a larger size, as it, again, includes notes and advice on how to do so.

Materials:

  • 3 balls or 575-660+ yards of Cascade Superwash 220 or equivalent yarn
  • 1 48” circular needle in US7/4.5mm, or size needed for gauge.
  • Tapestry needle
  • Removable stitch markers

Gauge:
Gauge is 18 sts and 36 rows over 4”/10cm of blocked garter stitch, knit flat.
