Lacy shawls are perfect for springtime, but when cooler temperatures set in, you need a shawl that offers more warmth and comfort. This beautifully designed asymmetrical triangle shawl, crafted in DK weight yarn, expertly combines simple stockinette and garter stitches with an innovative slipped stitch pattern. The end result is not only a warm, colorful accessory but also a delightful project that is both fun to knit and quick to complete. For a striking aesthetic, consider pairing a solid main color with a solid, variegated, or gradient contrast color to enhance the visual appeal of your shawl.
Measurements: This stunning shawl measures approximately 30”/76 cm at its widest point and is 48”/122 cm long, making it the perfect size to wrap around your shoulders on chilly days.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 22 stitches and 26 rows per 4”/10 cm in stockinette stitch for the best results.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Magpie Fibers Swanky DK yarn, which consists of 80% superwash merino wool, 10% cashmere, and 10% nylon (250 yards/115 grams). You will need 1 skein each in the beautiful colors Out of the Blue (main color) and FizzGig (contrast color). Alternatively, you can use approximately 250 yards/230 meters of MC and 150 yards/140 meters of CC in any DK weight yarn that suits your style.
Needles: You will need US 6/4 mm straight or circular needles to knit this lovely shawl.
Notions: Gather stitch markers, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, and for achieving the final shape and dimensions, the use of blocking wires is highly recommended. Blocking your shawl will enhance its drape and create a stunning finish.
