Aileron

Introducing the Aileron Shawl, a stunning accessory that translates to 'little wing' in French. The unique striped design, angled from the shawl's spine, evokes the graceful long feathers found in a bird's wings, making it a perfect project for knitters who appreciate intricate details and elegant aesthetics.

The Aileron Shawl begins with a cleverly constructed triangle that is worked in short rows. This innovative technique elegantly transitions into subsequent sections, allowing for an eye-catching angled striping pattern that adds dimension and flair. The addition of an icord edge, crafted simultaneously with the shawl's shaping, ensures that the semicircular design features a polished and strong finish.
Made entirely in a cozy garter stitch, the Aileron Shawl is not only enjoyable to knit but also results in a warm and textured fabric that you’ll love to wear or gift.

If you adore the yarn used for Aileron, you'll be excited to know that this beautiful shawl is a collaborative creation with Juno Fibre Arts, featuring their luxurious new yarn, Milly Sleek Singles.
