Bonnie and Clyde

$74.26

Bonnie & Clyde is incredibly popular here at Monarch, so I when the Olympics KAL was planned, I knew I had to knit one for myself. Then when mYak released the beautiful Fior di Cashmere with its amazing, bright colors, I was hooked. If you follow the pattern, you can knit both shawls, however I decided to knit just the striped version and make it a bit bigger.

Bonnie is knit top-down in a captivating dip-stitch stripe pattern, it features decreases on both sides and soft, open edges created by dropped yarn overs.
Clyde is worked sideways from tip to tip, using gentle shaping and playful stripes for a relaxing, beginner-friendly knit.

Whether you choose one or knit the pair, these shawlettes add the perfect touch of color and texture to any outfit. A great gift idea for a knitter, too!
