The Butterfield Shawlette is a triangular shawl full of texture and depth. The finished fabric is created by a simple stitch pattern of knit stitches and by also knitting into stitches below. It is bouncy, warm, and comfortable, and is repetitive and relaxing to knit. The shawl is finished with an Eyelet I-Cord Bind Off, and tassels, making the finishing process unique, engaging, and fun!
