Sommer auf der Alm

Introducing our beautifully designed asymmetric triangular shawl, created specifically for the “Woolbox November 2021” event from Alte Kuenste. This stunning shawl pattern maximizes the potential of a single skein of fingering or sport weight yarn (100g = 330-460 yards / 300-420 meters), allowing you to craft a gorgeous and wearable accessory. Alternatively, you can also utilize one large skein of 150g, available from select hand dyers, or combine three 50g skeins—just keep knitting until you run out of yarn! To enhance the visual impact of the shawl, opt for yarns in solid, semi-solid, or speckled colorways. A gentle gradient yarn would also add a beautiful touch.

The construction of the shawl begins at the right corner and progresses elegantly toward the left edge. Through clever placement of increases and decreases, a series of ribs are first established along the lower edge, creating a stunning architectural design. As you continue knitting, the method of increases and decreases shifts, forming a captivating ribbing effect on the bias for the remainder of the shawl. This section of the pattern is crafted with ease in mind, allowing for seamless memorization—many knitters find they can continue without referring to the instructions!

This asymmetric triangular shawl not only showcases your knitting skills but also serves as a versatile piece that can elevate any outfit. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters, this pattern encourages creativity and experimentation with yarn choices.
