Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight yarn, approximately 400 yards
• Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches using your US 6 (4mm) knitting needles.
2. Row 1: Knit the first stitch (K1), then make a yarn over (yo), knit the second stitch (K1), yarn over again (yo), and finish with knitting the last stitch (K1). You should now have 5 stitches on your needle.
3. Row 2: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create a solid foundation for your lace pattern.
4. Row 3: Knit the first stitch (K1), yarn over (yo), then knit to the last stitch (K to last stitch), yarn over (yo), and knit the last stitch (K1). You will increase the number of stitches on your needle with each repeat of this row.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 125 stitches on your needle. This will form the body of your shawlette.
6. Begin Lace Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Knit the first stitch (K1), yarn over (yo), then repeat the sequence of knit two together (k2tog), yarn over (yo) until you reach the last stitch, and knit the last stitch (K1).
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Knit all stitches across the row.
7. Continue the Lace Pattern: Repeat Rows 1 and 2 of the lace pattern until the shawlette measures approximately 20 inches from the cast-on edge.
8. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off your stitches loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.
9. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. To enhance the lace pattern, block your shawlette to shape it properly. This will help the lace open up beautifully.
