**Bila-Shawl Knitting Pattern: A Beautiful Shallow Triangle Shawl** Introduce your next knitting project with the exquisite Bila-shawl, designed to be knitted sideways, creating a stunning long shallow triangle. This versatile shawl features a creative border that showcases a modified traditional Crown of Glory pattern, beautifully crafted after picking up stitches from the lower edge of the triangle. The design incorporates traditional Hap-shawl yarn overs, resulting in a smooth upper edge that adds elegance to your piece. For knitters looking for customization, the Bila-shawl offers two edge options: a less holey finish for a refined look (beige shawl) and a more open design for a light and airy feel (red shawl). The pattern includes both written and charted instructions, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. **Yarn Requirements for the Bila-Shawl:** The sample shawl was skillfully knitted using Rowan Felted Tweed yarn in two different color combinations. The "more holes" version utilized colorways Rage (Main Color, MC) and Clay (Contrast Color, CC), while the "less holes" version featured Camel (MC) and Tawny (CC). Each shawl used all of the 2 skeins of the Main Color and approximately 40 grams of the Contrast Color, emphasizing the versatility of this pattern. For your convenience, please note that the yardage is estimated. The sample shawl required 100 grams of color A and 40 grams of color B, giving you a reliable guideline for your project. **Tools Needed:** To knit the Bila-shawl, you will need the following tools: - A 4.50 mm (US 7) circular needle, ideally 100 cm (40 inches) long or longer. - Stitch markers to help keep track of your progress. - A tapestry needle for weaving in ends for a polished finish. **Gauge Information:** To ensure your shawl turns out perfectly, aim for a gauge of 17 stitches x 36 rows per 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in garter stitch after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge will help you maintain the desired dimensions and drape of your finished shawl. With its beautiful shape, intricate stitch patterns, and adaptable edge options, the Bila-shawl is a delightful project for any knitting enthusiast. Whether you prefer a more traditional appeal or a modern twist, this shawl pattern is sure to become a cherished addition to your collection. Happy knitting!
