Rippled Sand Shawl Pattern: An Asymmetrical Triangular Delight
The Rippled Sand shawl is an elegantly asymmetric triangular shawl, perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a stunning accessory. This project is ingeniously worked from the narrow point on the right edge, allowing for a delightful increase of stitches on every right side (RS) row. The charming garter stitch ‘ripples’ and playful bubbly stripes add a unique flair to this shawl, making it an entertaining and enjoyable knitting endeavor. An optional tassel finish adds an extra touch of whimsy. With both the right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) showcasing beautiful stripe patterns, you can wear this shawl with the WS out too, so make sure to weave in your ends carefully for an almost invisible finish.
Yarn Requirements: The original shawl is crafted using Isager Trio, which has 382 yards (349 meters) per 50 grams. You will need 2 skeins for the main color, totaling approximately 755 yards (690 meters), along with 1 skein for the contrast color, which is approximately 306 yards (280 meters). Additionally, both yarns are held together with Isager Spinni, boasting 656 yards (600 meters) per 100 grams. For this project, you will need 2 skeins of Spinni, providing an approximate total of 1061 yards (970 meters).
Important Note: As both yarns (Trio and Spinni) are held together throughout the knitting process, it’s crucial to choose alternatives that meet the correct gauge and yield a fabric that isn't too tightly knit.
Gauge Information: To ensure your shawl turns out beautifully, the gauge is 21 stitches and 30 rows, which equals a 4-inch (10 cm) square in Stockinette stitch. Make sure to check your gauge before starting to achieve the desired drape and fit.
