Shalola

Shalola was January 2022's Lola's Choice kit... sign up NOW if you don't want to miss out on future kits!

Meet SHALOLA, your new favorite one-skein wonder!

Knit flat into an asymmetrical triangle and grafted together at the ends, this cowl can be knit in two different variations: entirely in lace, or in garter stitch with a lace panel at the center of the peak. Beads are placed in between yarnovers to highlight the negative space and undulate within the lines of the lace pattern. Wear it in one long loop, or wrap it double for a closer fit around your neck.  

The Shalola pattern includes a 35-minute, in-depth video tutorial to support you through the tricksy bits!
