Moonshine and Solar Flare

Explore the Art of Knitting: Increasing Shawl Shapes

These beautifully flared shawls are expertly knitted sideways, predominantly in garter stitch. The unique triangular shape is created by working increases along one edge, making for a stunning and versatile accessory. If you're looking to enhance your knitting skills, our tutorials are invaluable, offering guidance on various increasing techniques such as kfb (knit front and back) and m1 (make one), alongside instructions on how to effectively work slipped stitches.

Feel free to refer to the materials section below for different yarn options. Our adjustable pattern allows you the freedom to use any yarn of your choice, enabling you to achieve different visual effects. You can customize the depth and length of your shawl by simply continuing to knit until you reach the desired size or until you run out of yardage.
