Montrose Shawl

Do not adjust your monitors; this cozy confection of a shawl truly features an eye-catching design of stripes on stripes! The Montrose shawl is a delightful knitting project that combines the textures of garter stripes and two-color brioche, two of my all-time favorite squishy knitting techniques. Designed as an asymmetrical triangle, this shawl is long enough to loop comfortably around your neck, drape elegantly over your shoulders, or secure with a shawl cuff, allowing you to showcase the ends in style.

The quest for the perfect stripes in the Montrose shawl is beautifully complemented by choosing two stripe-friendly yarns. Feederbrook Farm’s Entropy DK is a wonderfully springy, BFL two-ply yarn that creates gentle shifts from color to color, adding depth and dimension to your project. Alongside this, Brooklyn Tweed’s Arbor offers a neutral canvas with just the right amount of toothy texture, making the Montrose not only visually stunning but also luxurious to wear. Together, these yarns create a shawl that’s lofty, plush, and as stripey as can be, ensuring that your finished piece is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Are you feeling inspired to color both inside and outside the lines this knitting season? The Montrose shawl might be just the right project for you. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern is accessible and rewarding, making it a perfect addition to your knitting repertoire. Dive into this delightful pattern and create a stunning accessory that will keep you warm and stylish in the cooler months!
