The triangular Betty shawlette is worked flat, back and forth, from tip to tip. It’s made completely in garter stitch with i-cord edges for a neat finish. A centre section, textured with easy to knit eyelets, separates the eye-catching colour tips. You will be increasing from the cast on edge on one side until you reach the mid-point, and then you will decrease along the same edge to the cast off tip.

Row Repeats Tracker sheets: At the end of the pattern pages you will find a useful set of Tracker Sheets for recording your progress on the project, row by row. This will help you keep track of the increase and decrease rows, so that you increase evenly and the correct number of times to create the lovely elongated triangle shape of the shawlette. It will also help you keep track of the eyelet rows.
