Vantage Points Shawlette

Combine your three favorite colors in this quick-to-knit funky shawlette! With asymmetric shaping, points, and textured garter stitch ridges, Vantage Points is a versatile accessory that can be worn in multiple ways. The unique shape is achieved through a mix of increasing, decreasing, short rows, and picking up stitches. Fingering or sport weight yarns make for a lightweight shawlette, but it can also be knit in heavier yarn for a cozy winter wrap.

Pattern Notes

The shawlette is worked from the right top side to the left bottom side and consists of three sections. The first section is shaped through a combination of increases, decreases, and short rows. Stitches are then picked up for the second section, which incorporates additional shaping. Finally, stitches are picked up for the third and final section, where decreases form the lower point of the shawl. The pattern includes detailed illustrations to guide you through shaping the shawl.
