Japanese Butterfly Garden Shawlette By Pam Jemelian
Welcome spring with this brightly colored crescent-shaped shawlette that features 3 large lace butterflies in the
center panel, and a scalloped “cocoon” border. It is a top-down shawl that is knit in 3 increasing wedges, and
the border is crocheted on afterwards. This wrap is a one-size-fits-all pattern and would be appropriate for an
adult, or an older child or teen. It is made with 2 skeins (237 yards each) of Cascade Yarn’s Sunseeker Multis
in their new “Cherry Blossom” Color 124, which is a DK weight cotton blend of 47% cotton/48% acrylic/5%
metallic. The yarn has tiny glints of gold metal which sparkle when they catch the sunlight.

Cast on 9 stitches ideally with the Garter Stitch Tab Method since this method makes a seamless transi-tion in the border stitches between the 3 wedges along the top of the shawl, but an ordinary cast on of 9 stitches is also acceptable.
