Houndstooth Exe

Introducing a stunning 2-color triangular shawl designed specifically for lovers of the Houndstooth pattern! This beautiful shawl is crafted using the cherished stranded knitting technique, also known as Fair Isle knitting, making it an excellent choice for those familiar with this art form. The pattern is conveniently charted for easy reading, allowing knitters of varying skill levels to create their own unique masterpiece.

For this sample shawl, the following yarns were used:

*3 skeins of Main Color (MC) DK weight, 100% cotton yarn in a classic black shade (“Tango”, St. George, Serbia), featuring a yardage of approximately 125m (~137yds) per 50g skein. In total, you will need roughly 375m / 410yds (150g) to complete this gorgeous design.

*2.5 skeins of Contrast Color (CC) DK weight, 100% cotton yarn in a sophisticated beige hue, also from “Tango”, St. George, Serbia. This will require approximately 320m / 350yds (125g) of yarn.

*Feel free to experiment with your favorite tightly stranded yarn, whether it's solid or colorful. While using sport weight or even thinner DK weight woolen yarn is recommended, achieving the exact gauge is not essential for success.

Dimensions (measured after blocking, laid flat and fixed): The length from the neck to the “peak” of the shawl is 60cm / 24”, while the flat widespread measures an impressive 150cm / 60”.

Gauge (while gauge is not critical for this project) measures 24 stitches and 22 rows, equating to a 10x10cm / 4x4” square.

This exquisite Houndstooth triangular shawl is perfect for accessorizing any outfit, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to your wardrobe. Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or looking to enhance your everyday look, this shawl is sure to become a favorite. So gather your supplies, and let your creativity shine as you bring this beautiful pattern to life!
