Crazy stitch is a fun and popular stitch for working corner-to-corner. This shawlet is made using a lacey variation on crazy stitch that I call crazy filet. Once you get the hang of the stitch, this shawlet goes quickly and easily. Since this piece is made with a loose gauge, the fabric is stretchy, and it doesn’t need to meet precise measurements, I have not provided gauge information.

The sample shown was made in a sock yarn called Luminosity from Lazy Cat Yarns, with a size H hook to give it a nice drape, but it would also be lovely in other yarns, such as lace weight mohair. If you want to make a full-size shawl, plan on a lot more yardage, and just keep working until you reach your desired dimensions.
