Size: One size fits all, approximately 200 cm/79” wide and 50 cm/20” long at the center. This generous size allows you to drape it elegantly over your shoulders or wrap it snugly for added warmth.

Yarn: You will need 1 skein each of 2 contrasting colors from Fade St 4ply by Townhouse Yarns (70% merino, 30% silk; 400m/437 yds per 100g). This pattern is beautifully showcased in the vibrant colorways Phoenix (MC) and Too Rouge (CC), which create an eye-catching contrast and enhance the shawl's overall appeal.

Needles: A circular needle in size 3.5 mm/US #4, 100 cm/40” long is recommended for this project to accommodate the increasing stitches and provide comfortable knitting.

Other: You’ll also need a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and blocking pins to set your finished shawl perfectly.

Gauge: The gauge is 24 stitches and 42 rows = 10 cm/4” in garter stitch, measured flat after wet blocking. While achieving the exact gauge isn’t crucial for this project, variations can influence the finished size and the amount of yarn needed. Be mindful of this as you knit, so your shawl turns out just as fabulous as intended.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking for a fun project, this triangle shawl pattern will bring joy and creativity to your knitting experience. Dive into this delightful pattern and celebrate the art of knitting with a shawl that reflects the beauty of festivals!
