Nanga
‘On the Edge’ - Explore our stunning collection of 4 triangular shawls, each skillfully named after awe-inspiring mountain peaks and their breathtaking cliffs: The Sentinell, High Bluff, Mitre Peak, and Nanga.
Each of these unique shawls boasts an easy-to-follow construction method, designed to be worked on the bias, beginning from the right tip with just one stitch cast on. This innovative technique ensures a beautiful drape, making them perfect for wrapping around your shoulders or showcasing as a stylish accessory.
Nanga stands out in our collection as it is crafted from delicate lace weight yarn. Its intricate ridge pattern is elegantly framed with wide lace and faux cable borders. At first glance, Nanga may appear to be challenging, but in reality, it is quite simple to create using fundamental knitting techniques such as knit, purl, yarn overs, and gathered stitches. The bias construction enhances its stunning drape, allowing the shawl to flow gracefully.
While there are minimal written instructions for Nanga, the borders are clearly charted, making it accessible even for those with intermediate knitting skills. Although designed with a more advanced knitter in mind, the pattern is straightforward enough to encourage knitters eager to enhance their skills.
Light as a feather and soft as a cloud, Nanga is a true must-have for anyone embracing their romantic side! Whether you are looking to create a treasured gift or a personal statement piece, this shawl will elevate your knitting collection.
