Good Old Days

Introducing our exquisite triangular shawl knitting pattern, available in four elegant and subdued colors that will transport you to the “Good Old Days.” This lovely piece is intricately designed to be knitted from one corner to the widest part of the shawl. The technique involves picking up stitches along the edge, alongside knitting wedges on the side of the shawl, culminating in a beautiful design. More stitches are then picked up along the top edge, finished with a delightful small Aster stitch border that resembles narrow strips of fabric expertly stitched together.

While you embrace the nostalgic aesthetics of the “Good Old Days,” don’t forget to enjoy modern conveniences such as circular needles and easily accessible knitting patterns that you can use right from your phone! This shawl not only pays homage to timeless style but also caters to the practical needs of today’s knitters.
