Power and Parallels

**Triangle Shawl Knitting Pattern Inspired by the Duwamish Territory** Explore the intricate beauty of the Triangle Shawl, a stunning knitting pattern that merges the artistry of graphic design with the rich history of the Duwamish Territory. This unique shawl features a striking slipped stitch pattern that evokes the powerful forces of maps and waterways, both of which have significantly influenced the cultural landscape of the area. This exceptional pattern was developed in collaboration with the Log House Museum, located in the picturesque Alki neighborhood of West Seattle. The shawl is inspired by the museum's engaging exhibit, **“Between the Lines: the Power and Parallels of the West Seattle Annexation.”** This creative connection adds a layer of meaning and significance to your knitting experience. The Triangle Shawl is designed using two contrasting colors of high-quality fingering weight yarn—requiring just one skein of each hue. The shawl is crafted primarily in garter stitch, providing a soft and cozy feel, while the eye-catching patterning comes to life through a combination of slipped stitches and cables. Each step of the way, you will find detailed written instructions and easy-to-follow charts, ensuring a fulfilling knitting journey. This pattern is perfect for knitters seeking to enhance their skills. Required techniques include knitting, picking up stitches (specifically for the garter tab), yarn overs (YO), slipped stitches, and cable work. Additionally, you will learn how to execute make 1 increases, making this shawl both a challenging and rewarding project for those looking to expand their knitting repertoire.
