If you are looking for a quick and easy knitted shawl pattern, this simple triangle shawlette is for you. Light enough to wear in Spring and Summer, my mini shawl pattern is a super quick knit, suitable for all seasons.<\/p>\n

\"Light

This yarn review and free shawl knitting pattern is a collaboration with American Yarns<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s been an unusually cool summer in Melbourne, and even though the days have been pleasant enough, an extra layer to take the chill off is always appreciated.<\/p>\n

My regular sized shawls<\/a> have been a little to warm and bulky to wear, so I knitted up this light and silky mini shawl, a shawlette, to throw on as I walk out the door.<\/p>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

The pattern is super easy, just simple garter stitch with a few increases and decreases to create a triangle shape. Even better, I’ve designed the pattern to only use one ball of yarn, so it’s economical too!<\/p>\n

Made from a new soft and silky luxury yarn from American Yarns – Lion Brand Landscapes Fusion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Lion<\/p>\n

This yarn has an unusual soft twist which almost looks hand-spun. The pretty array of variegated colours knits up into a soft marled effect which looks like painted watercolour strokes.<\/p>\n

Lion Brand Landscapes Fusion<\/a> is lovely and squishy, with a silky finish that is lovely to the touch. It drapes well when made up with a slightly larger needle (or hook) size than recommended. I’ve used 7mm needles as opposed to the 6mm suggested on the label.<\/p>\n

Lion Brand Landscape Fusion yarn – Morningside (left), Rucker (right)<\/p><\/div>\n

Normally I’m a bright colours kind of girl (I don’t usually wear pastels), but I thought the denim and soft pink colour combination of ‘Morningside’ was really pretty for a Summer shawl.<\/p>\n

Of course this shawl would look great in any Landscapes Fusion colour combination. Why not make a few so you can have one to match every outfit!<\/p>\n

The little shawlette is such a fast knit – perfect if you need a quick project for some instant crafty gratification.<\/p>\n

It only took me a couple of evenings to finish, and was ready to wear as soon as I cast off the final stitches – no blocking required.<\/p>\n

The gauge isn’t super critical, but I would suggest using a digital scale to weight your yarn just before you get to the half way mark in the pattern to make sure you will have enough to finish.<\/p>\n

I’ve allocated around 5g spare to allow for those that knit with a slightly looser gauge.<\/p>\n
