Bougainville is a versatile scarf/shawl pattern that you can easily knit at any gauge and any size, using the yarn that suits you best! In fact, I knit the prototype in a sport-weight cotton yarn and my second shawl in a lighter and larger version, using a fingering weight silk yarn and aiming at a more luscious result! I would highly recommend you to visit the MKAL thread for extra feedback on knitting this shawl, if you decide to use a different yarn weight. As you know, gauge and yardage depend on the yarn weight and the needle size, so, I'd suggest you go up a size or two from the needles recommended by the manufacturer. NOTE: When working Row 3, you are required to "yo twice". This is achieved by wrapping the yarn round your right-hand needle 2 times. In the following row (Row 4, working on the WS) you will work this double yo as indicated in the pattern: first you p1 (without dropping the yo from the left-hand needle) and then k1 in the same stitch. This will create a bold and rather large, decorative hole in your fabric. Now you can let the yo yarn go. ① 2016 Maria Zilakou Designs | This pattern is for personal use only.

V'OTSALA
by MARIA ZILAKOU
V'OTSALA
V'otsala is the Greek word for "sea pebbles" and I tried to capture the moment the sea caresses these pebbles... Yes, the yarn color was what inspired me in the first place, but so was the need for a light, ethereal shawl with a new shape and instructions that can be easily memorized. A shawl that knits up rather quickly and can be worn all year round. Stockinette stitch, an easy mesh pattern, garter stitch and a few hours of knitting bliss will result in this light, airy shawl!
You will need:

Instagram Twitter Pinterest Website I would like to thank Matina Preka (Ravelry ID: matina68) for test-knitting this pattern prior to its release! Without her , this pattern wouldn't havebeen possible! a shawlette pattern by maria zilakou Besigns I guess one could say Mediterranea is a wide scarf or a narrow shawl, depending on how you choose to see it. The idea was to make the most out of a beautiful, variegated sock yarn, with a rather easy-to-memorize pattern recipe, so that I could carry my project in my bag and outdoors and I hope that you will be able to do the same. You can opt for a short or a longer version of the pattern; in fact you can knit for as long as your yarn lasts. You start with a number of sts and a nice, sort of "textured" openwork repeat. As you proceed, you keep increasing 1 stitch on the same edge of every row, creating a beautiful wide crescent shape that will hug your neck. The other edge is the slightly textured lace part that adds interest to your project. The result is a light, airy scarf to wrap around your neck and be warm and elegant!

FINISHING
Wet blocking is highly recommended for this kind of shawl, it really brings up the lightness of the openwork! Knit, wear and enjoy!!!
