Later in the post, you will see yarn dyed and featured in the ChemKnitsTutorials on YouTube, "Layering Mystery Food Coloring & Acid Dyes on Sock Yarn; Leave No Dye Behind" published on 5/24/19. This yarn is also stunning, and the project was a delight to work.
Coastal Wave Shawl(ette)
Taking
inspiration from our view of the North Oregon Coast, I have developed
the Coastal Wave Shawl(ette). If
the Coastal Wave Shawl(ette) is knit in a cotton blend,
perfect for cool spring and summer evenings. If knit in blended
wool, great for the blustery winter.
The shawl(ette)
is worked with 2 increases
on beginning Right Side. The
eyelet will be worked on the Wrong
Side, along with 1
decrease,
creating an asymmetrical shawl. The
wave will be worked on the Wrong
Side along with
bind-off
steps.
This might be considered an advance beginner pattern because
knowledge of stitch and shawl construction are helpful. The
shawl(ette)
takes a few evenings or weekends to complete, making the Coastal
Wave
Shawl(ette)
a perfect gift or accessory.
Shawl(ette) finished size: ~450yds/100g 12” depth, 64”wing; blocking: 18”depth, 78” wing
~350yds/100g
11” depth, 60”wing; blocking: 18”depth, 72” wing
Gauge: 5 stitches & 5 ridges = 1” to create loose soft fabric. Adjust needle size.
Materials: Yarn: Cotton or wool blend in fingering weight; ~350 to ~450yards/100grams

 |
| I wound (462yards) yarn into a ball, gathered supplies and a pattern. |
 |
| I started, and was very happy with the project! |
 |
| I worked the large eyelet with the optional rows 6,12,18... |
 |
| I completed the large eyelet, and ran a life line. |
 |
| I worked the Wave Rows and placed hanging markers to note the picots. |
 |
| The shawl(ette) was finished and blocking. I colorway is stunning, and the shawl(ette) was fun to work! |
|
| We had beautiful weather! A modeled photo of the Coast to Coast Coastal Wave Shawl(ette). |
Here are photos of the process for the shawl(ette) knit with yarn from ChemKnitsTutorials Video published 5/24/19.

| "This 100 g sock yarn is READY TO SHIP in a stunning color way created
with commercial acid dyes and food coloring. Listing is for ONE 100 g
skein. This deep teal yarn is layered with shades including navy, blue,
yellow-green to create a stunning non-repeating colorway. This yarn was featured in the ChemKnits Tutorials Video: "Layering Mystery Food Coloring & Acid Dyes on Sock Yarn; Leave No Dye Behind" published on 5/24/19." ChemKnitsCreations |
 |
| I wound the (357yards) yarn into a ball, gathered supplies and a pattern. |
 |
| I worked the Eyelet Rows. Yes, 70stitches and 75grams yarn remaining! I had the pink yarn ready to run a lifeline. |
 | |
| I worked 7 repeats of the Large Eyelet rows. I weighed the yarn just to see. What?! I had 52grams remaining. Oh! It was time to run another lifeline, and get started on the Wave Rows! |
 |
| I worked the set up and a few Wave Rows with the Picot Bind-Off steps. I noticed by making a simple Kfb modification to the set up Row 1, those Row10 stitch counts would continue to work to end of the shawl(ette). I placed the hanging markers, felt comfortable with the amount of remaining yarn, and not risking yarn chicken. |
 |
| The shawl(ette) was finished with 3grams of remaining yarn! It was time to soak the project in a little warm water and drop of dish soap, rinse, roll in a towel, and block. |
 |
| The shawl(ette) was finished and blocking. This colorway is more than stunning, and the shawl(ette) was a delight to work. |
 |
| We had beautiful weather. Enjoyed the wind blown hair! The Coast to Coast Coastal Wave Shawl(ette) is beautiful! |
