Beach Roses
Discover the beauty of this modified triangle shawl, featuring a harmonious blend of smooth stockinette and a charming star stitch transition band that enhances each color shift. This design includes extra increases on wrong-side rows, which create a shallower triangle shape that beautifully conforms to your shoulders, preventing the typical pre-blocking diamond shape often seen in traditional stockinette triangles. To add a touch of flair, leftover yarn is utilized to create a luxurious fringe, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your finished piece.
Essential Skills Required:
- Increasing for triangle shapes
- Backwards-loop cast on for seamless edges
- Slipping stitches over other stitches for intricate designs
- Making and attaching fringe to complete your shawl
