Creating That Special Fashion Excitement . . . .
Jabots, Shawls, Scarves, Capes and Wraps

The "Motion Magic" Jabot


This unusual jabot is knitted in a three-dimensional design, which allows the various folds and ridges to undulate into magnificent shapes. This jabot comes off the machine completely finished, and even the cast-on and bind off edges will have a drop finished edge. Different directions of ridges are layered one on top of another to create a beautiful effect for that look of elegance and sophistication. Need it for that speical occasion tonight? No problem -- it can be fully knitted and ready to wear in under three hours. With the same technique, the pattern is adaptable to create long flowing shawls and capes. For all standard machines and is easily adaptable to mid-gauge and bulky, too. Includes fully detailed step-by-step knitting and finishing instructions. (Available in PDF format.)

The "Nighttime Magic" Jabot

       

This beautiful ruffled shawl - jabot, is knitted as a rectangle, but when folded into place, creates an amazing Jabot which will enhance the throat and neck area. It can dress up or dress down any outfit, and can be worn for any occasion. Short rowing is used to create the wonderful ruffled effect, around the outside edge of the shawl. Usually short rowing is done by hand-selecting needles to be knitted, but this pattern does the work for you. While instructions are included for all standard machines, if you have a Brother electronic, you only need to program the graph provided in the booklet, and within just a few steps, all of the needles will be selected automatically for you. Just knit back and forth and watch the magic happen! Includes fully detailed step-by-step knitting and finishing instructions and large photographs. (Available in PDF format.)

With no specific tension or gauge, its size is determined only by the amount of rows knitted. The garment is finished by a simple crochet shell stitch using ribbon yarn. Adding a knitted “scrunch” flower with hanging I-cords as accents, enhances and completes the look. This garment is suitable for daytime wear, and on any Red Carpet event anywhere.
