Bodie Island shawl

If you're a knitter who loves innovative designs, the Bodie Island triangle-shaped shawl is perfect for you! While wacky constructions may not typically be my style—I personally appreciate when things are predictable—sometimes a unique idea just won’t leave your mind. One day, out of the blue, I wondered: could it really be possible to knit a triangle-shaped shawl starting from a square? Determined to find out, I resisted the urge to let it go. The only definitive way to test my theory was by committing to knit an entire shawl and blocking it to check for the perfect shape.

Filled with curiosity, I grabbed my needles and began sketching and swatching. After countless revisions, I was 99% confident in my mathematical calculations and creative approach. With excitement, I cast on for the Bodie Island shawl! This stunning accessory is knit from the center out, showcasing a fabulous combination of fingering weight yarn and delicate laceweight mohair, ensuring both warmth and elegance. What sets this shawl apart are its unique textures, achieved through techniques such as slipped stitches, Fisherman’s rib, and brioche stitch. The result is a beautifully complex design that offers not only a stylish finish but also an entertaining knitting experience.
