Hearts and Flowers Triangular Shawl
This versatile knitting pattern is meticulously crafted to provide flexibility in sizing and is perfect for both fingering and lace weight yarns. The overall size of the final shawl is determined by the number of repeats made in the initial section of the pattern. When using the smallest number of repeats and fingering weight yarn, the completed shawl measures approximately 66 inches in wingspan and 38 inches down the center back, making it a stunning accessory suitable for any occasion.
When creating the fingering weight shawls, we recommend using US 5 (3.75 mm) knitting needles, which will yield a gauge of 7.5 stitches and 11 rows per inch for a beautifully delicate fabric. For the fingering weight shawls, we used JoJoLand's Melody for the variegated designs and Ballad for the solid options, allowing for stunning visual effects and textures.
The amount of yarn required for this knitting pattern ranges between 900 and 1200 yards, depending on the size you choose to make. This means you can easily adjust your project to meet your specific yarn supply or desired shawl dimensions. The stitches incorporated in this pattern include classic lace techniques such as yarn overs, k2tog (knit two together) and its counterparts, and k3tog (knit three together) along with their respective variations, ensuring a beautiful and intricate finish.
The initial portions of the pattern feature right-side row patterning only, while the wrong-side rows serve as rest rows for a more relaxed knitting experience. In contrast, the bottom border of the shawl showcases patterning on every row, creating a striking and continuous lace effect without any rest rows. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just beginning your lace knitting journey, this pattern is designed to inspire creativity and expand your skills. Dive into this captivating shawl project and bring your knitting to life!
