This shawlette is designed with three triangles made of solid stripes of stockinette stitch interrupted by a lace stripe that evokes tiny forget-me-nots and crowns, flowing into overlapping ovals and hearts at the bottom edges.

This is a perfect project for 1 skein of hand-dyed lace-weight yarn, and a lovely light-weight accessory for summer or any time.

The shawlette is knit from the top neck down to the bottom edges.
It is a three-quarter square shape, and is comprised of three triangular sections that are worked identically.
The pattern includes written instructions.
The lace pattern is both charted and written.
Stitch counts are provided for every row.

Finished Measurements: each of the 3 sides measures 18” deep x 30” wide at bottom edges
