Angles Shawl Revisited
Introducing the "Angles Shawl Revisited," an updated and beautifully designed asymmetrical shawlette that now features comprehensive charts to guide you through your knitting journey. This stunning piece boasts a variety of stitch patterns, creating an eclectic and textured aesthetic that is sure to impress. Knitters will enjoy working with an array of techniques, primarily utilizing knit and purl stitches that come together to form an intriguing design, all beautifully accented with two large buttons for a perfect finishing touch.
The construction of the shawlette is unique, as it is worked diagonally from one side to the other. You’ll begin with a solid “base” crafted from herringbone stitches and progress toward a soft garter stitch “tip.” This method not only enhances the visual interest of the shawl but also makes it a captivating project for knitters of all skill levels.
**Materials Needed:**
- Needles: U.S. size 7 (4.5 mm) & U.S. size 6 (4 mm) knitting needles
- Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends
- Buttons: Two large buttons for added flair
- Yarn: Approximately 245 yards of any worsted weight yarn (this yardage is an estimate; we recommend using 2 skeins of Madelinetosh Vintage or Luster)
**Gauge:** After blocking in stockinette stitch, achieve a gauge of 5 stitches and 6 rows = 1 inch. This gauge is crucial for ensuring your finished shawlette has the perfect drape and dimensions.
**Finished Measurements:** This beautiful shawlette measures approximately 35 inches (89 cm) in width and 15 inches (38 cm) in height from the base to the tip, making it the ideal accessory to elevate your knitwear collection.
The Angles Shawl Revisited is not just a project; it's a way to express your creativity and enhance your knitting skills. Perfect for both personal use and as a thoughtful handmade gift, this shawlette is a delightful addition to any wardrobe. Dive into this pattern and discover the joy of creating something truly unique!
