A Gathered Triangle Shawlette

This beautifully designed triangular shawlette is expertly knitted sideways, offering a unique and elegant accessory for any wardrobe. Its asymmetrical shape features a narrower and longer starting tip, gradually leading to a wider ending tip, making it a stylish addition to your collection. If you're familiar with basic knitting techniques such as knitting and purling, as well as increasing and decreasing stitches, you can easily create this stunning shawlette.

The standout feature of this pattern is the Gathering Stitch, which alternates between 'gathered' Stockinette and classic Garter Stitch sections. This distinctive Gathering effect is achieved through a combination of an increase row at the beginning and a decrease row at the end of each Stockinette section. Each Stockinette section in this shawl spans 12 rows, creating a delightful texture that enhances your knitting project.

The overall size of your shawlette will depend on various factors, including the yarn weight and needle size you choose, as well as the desired length you want the shawlette to be. For reference, my sample shawl was crafted using a long colour-changing yarn with 5 mm needles and measures an impressive 140 cm x 58 cm. If you prefer a slightly softer drape, consider using a larger needle size for a different texture and feel.

To embark on this knitting adventure, be sure to have at least one additional cake or skein of your chosen yarn on hand to ensure you have enough material to complete your project. The Gathering Stitch shawlette makes for a wonderful gift, personal accessory, or a charming statement piece for any occasion.

Happy knitting! Dive into this delightful pattern and express your creativity through your work as you create a stunning triangular shawlette that showcases your skills. Enjoy the process and the satisfaction of completing a beautiful piece!
