Ginger Basket Shawlette
"Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I've designed a project using bulky yarn, so I was glad I got to do a shawlette with it this time around. While travelling to visit my sisters, I went to a nearby crafts store, and I found my eyes wondering towards the bulky and chunky yarn section there. Despite my daughter’s objection to my “typical choice of colors”, I ended up buying this classic brownish yarn that reminded me of gingerbread, with absolutely no idea what to make with it (as usual). After rattling my brain for an idea, and few trials later, I settled on this simple knit and purl pattern, which I am so fond of these days. Combining this weaving base pattern with an asymmetrical shape, gave this shawlette its unique look. In addition, I used the clear edging method for both the side and the binding off row, to achieve this specific sharp appearance. So, there you have it, a warm, cozy, and elegant shawlette with an added bonus of being a very quick project to finish. I hope you have a lovely time knitting it and wearing it!"
