Ashland: Collar, Shawlette, Shawl

Description

Ashland: Collar, Shawlette, Shawl

Ashland adds Victorian flair or a steampunk edge to any outfit with this deceptively easy-to-knit accessory.  The tiny bit of sparkle in the yarn gives it a special touch, without being too much.

Ashland is knit from the Left front edge to the Right front edge.  The flounces are created by simple short rows worked as part of each row of either stockinette and reverse stockinette.  This takes advantage of their inherent tendencies to rock and roll.

Follow the step-by-step instructions to whip up a polished final product while mastering each technique.  You personalize it with buttons that express your style.  Just the thing to convert a simple top to so much more — or to keep the chill off — this has a size for everyone.
