Canyonlands
Discover the beauty of the Canyonlands shawl, a captivating deep garter triangle shawl designed to beautifully showcase long colour run yarns. This versatile pattern features a body worked sideways, utilizing a delightful variation of the popular Please Mind the Gap technique. By keeping the garter stitch relaxed—preferably to the brink of being semi-comatose—you'll achieve a lightness and drape in this stunning wrap that makes it incredibly easy to wear and style.
The inspiration behind the name Canyonlands comes from Three Waters Farm's exquisite fibre, which was an absolute delight to spin. This shawl is an ideal canvas for displaying two or more complementary colours, or even a solid yarn paired with a short colour run or variegated yarn for added visual interest. The pattern is adaptable to any yarn weight and yardage, allowing you to easily adjust needle size to achieve your preferred gauge.
If you've ever found yourself with a skein of lovable-but-crazy variegated yarn sitting idly in your stash for years—wondering how to put it to good use—this may be the perfect pattern for you. Canyonlands not only transforms unique yarns into stunning works of art, but it also offers endless creative possibilities for adventurous knitters.
This knitting pattern features rows worked only on the right side (RS), making it simple to follow and ideal for knitters of any skill level. You can choose to work entirely from the written instructions, or for those who love visual aids, a chart with notes is also included. Embrace your creativity and let your yarn shine with the Canyonlands shawl—your new go-to accessory that can elevate any outfit!
