Paisley Please? Shawlette.
Modeled byHannahBarber If you are as crazy for paisley as I am, you will love this shawlette. The shawlette is covered with paisleys, going every which way, creating a lovely all-over design. Each motif contains two beads, a red one and a silver one, sitting like little jewels in the center of each paisley. Knit it in the colors shown, or use your imagination and create your very own colored paisley fabric. The pattern employs steeks so that the entire shawlette can be knitted in-theround.
