Straight and Arrow Shawl

Discover the beauty of the Straight and Arrow Shawl, a stunning long crescent shawl expertly crafted from the top down. This unique shawl pattern offers knitters the opportunity to create eye-catching vertical stripes through an innovative technique involving slipped stitches. Unlike traditional methods that use sideways construction or stranded colourwork, this design utilizes just one strand of yarn per row, resulting in a beautifully doubled fabric that is irresistibly squishy and cozy. The vertical stripes of the shawl eventually transition into a delicate horizontally striped chevron border, adding a light and airy touch to your finished piece.

To create this luxurious shawl, you'll need two skeins of 4-ply (fingering) yarn in two complementary colours. Whether you opt for two solid shades or a combination of a solid with a variegated yarn, the choices are endless, allowing you to personalize your project to reflect your style. The Straight and Arrow Shawl is perfect for knitters looking to challenge their skills while enjoying the soothing rhythm of the knit stitches. Ideal for both casual outings and cozy evenings at home, this shawl will elevate any outfit and keep you warm.
