Diya is a beautifully designed asymmetrical triangular shawl, expertly crafted by knitting from side to side. Utilizing garter stitch sections combined with a simple yet elegant lace pattern, this shawl opens up endless possibilities for color and design, allowing knitters to express their creativity. Ideal for all skill levels, the pattern is designed to be uncomplicated and rewarding.

Spoiler alert! There are NO purl stitches involved in this pattern, making it a fantastic choice for those who want a relaxing knitting experience. You can easily find your rhythm with the garter stitch, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike.

To elevate your design, I’ve paired a mesmerizing variegated yarn with a coordinating solid color, but the possibilities are truly limitless! This shawl would also look stunning when knitted with two solid colors or even in a single, bold color. The choice is yours, and it can beautifully complement any wardrobe.

Additionally, depending on your yarn stash, you can conveniently add or remove sections to customize the size of the shawl, whether you want it larger for wrapping up cozily or smaller for a stylish accessory. This flexibility makes it a versatile addition to your collection.

The pattern includes both charted and full written instructions, catering to your preferred knitting style and ensuring you have all the guidance you need to create your masterpiece.
