Carrie Shawlette

 

Hello fellow knitters! As a knitter who strongly adheres to the motto "no yarn should go to waste", I made this shawl of the leftover yarn of my Anna Crop Top project. Once again, I've kept the design simple, as I believe it is the best choice for a color changing yarn. Size-wise, you can consider this shawlette as a mix between scarf and a mini shawl, the perfect tiny piece to finish knitting in no time. The final look will depend on the color sequence of your yarn of choice, and how you choose to put it around your neck. So, if you are in a hurry and need a casual and fun neck wrap, look no further. Grab some yarn scraps and start making this shawlette today.
