For the color scheme, we recommend: Kerchief/Shawl - C1: White Pepper (03) - 1 skein for the kerchief / 2 skeins for the shawl - C2: Orangeville (34) - 1/2 skein for the kerchief / 1 skein for the shawl - C3: Mainsail (11) - 1/2 skein for the kerchief / 1 skein for the shawl
This beautiful triangle shawl is worked from the center outwards with four yarn over increases on each right side row, creating a light and airy finish perfect for any occasion. Mosaic knitting is an innovative method that involves working with just one color per row. The eye-catching design emerges through the technique of slipping stitches, allowing you to pull up contrasting colors from the row beneath, resulting in a stunning visual effect that showcases your skill.
Whether you’re looking to expand your knitting repertoire or create a versatile piece that transitions seamlessly from beach to brunch, this Garter Stitch Triangle Shawl is the perfect pattern for you! Dive into the world of mosaic knitting and elevate your handmade collection today.
