Georgiana Shawlette
Skill Level: Intermediate
This pattern is part of the Knit Picks IDP
Color, stitches, and shape combine to form a knit shawlette design that represents timeless romance.
The Georgianna Shawlette is constructed by working the main body and small garter stitch lace edge side-to-side in one piece. Stitches are then picked up along one edge to work the bell ruffle. If you find using your knitting needles to pick up stitches is awkward then you may want to try using a crochet hook to assist you in this step. Simply use the hook to catch the yarn and then place the loop on your right-hand needle.
