The Sweet Pea Small Shawl is an experiment with color and shaping within the realms of the Sweet Pea collection textures. Clustered stitches give a subtle squish throughout that showcases variegated and speckled yarns, and the picot mesh sections break up the clusters for some contrast. This shawl is shaped in an asymmetrical triangle and uses a unique loop and button closure to hold the shawl in place on the neck. This pattern is a great way for you to experiment between fading two colors together in a simple yet interesting shape.

This asymmetrical triangle shawl is made in one piece, from one point and working across, ending with a small loop that is used for attaching the shawl for wear around the neck. There are three cluster sections, with a picot mesh section in between cluster sections 1 and 2 and again between cluster sections 2 and 3. C1 and C2 provide a subtle fade across the shawl, with C3 serving as a contrast when used in the picot mesh sections.

Yardage
Fingering weight yarn, approximately 890 yards total, approximately 350 yards each of C1 and C2, 190 yards of C3
I used WeCrochet Hawthorne Fingering in the colors Cobbler Speckle (C1), Surprise Speckle (C2), and Andromeda Speckle (C3).

Also Needed
One 1-inch button for the closure

Gauge
In cluster stitch pattern, 8 clusters x 14 rows = 4” x 4”
sc, hdc, dc in same st, sk 2 sts repeat from * to * 8 times for 24 sts
When trying to match gauge, your swatch should always be bigger than the 4” x 4” square you are trying to match. For this stitch pattern, make a starting chain that is a multiple of 3 + 2 (for example, ch 29) and turn, working in the second chain from the hook in the cluster repeats. The last stitch of the row will be a sc. Gauge is only measured on the interior of the swatch you make.
