Sock Yarn Shawlette
By Bonnie Pierce
This shawlette is a scarf/shawl and can be worn right side up (with the ruffle at the neck) or upside down (with ruffle at bottom). To knit this, you should be familiar with Garter Stitch, Stockinette Stitch, Wrap and Turn (W&T), Seed Stitch, and Yarn Over (YO), and increasing stitches.

I bought these yarns with 40% off coupons at Joanns (one at a time) and mostly buy them for their yardage for the price and colors I like, so this shawl cost about $12.
