Hi everyone! I got my hands on a light, soft and multi-colored baby yarn, which inspired me to make this delicate shawlette. The design I've chosen is a four-row pattern accentuated by the color changing yarn. There is a small twist to knitting it, but fear not, because the general pattern is explained clearly in my video tutorial. You can customize the size of this shawlette however you like by adjusting the number of general pattern repeats. To keep the same sequence of colors throughout the whole shawlette, you have to match the color when you join a new yarn donut. I hope you enjoy making this piece and I appreciate any thoughts or comments you leave.
