Taival

Taival is an exquisite three-color, shallow triangle shawl designed with a delightful garter stitch and charming stripes, perfect for knitters of all levels. This versatile shawl can be your trusty traveling companion, whether you’re knitting on-the-go or, upon completion, draping it over your shoulders for that extra layer of warmth and style. And of course, there’s nothing stopping you from knitting it comfortably at home while enjoying your favorite shows!

The straightforward design features garter stitch sections interspersed with narrow two-row stripes in alternating colors. This creates a visually appealing texture that makes for a compelling and fast-paced knitting experience. Best of all, there are absolutely no purl stitches involved—except when you reach the elegant border!

The unique ruched border is crafted by rapidly doubling the stitch count, allowing for stunning see-through contrast-colored stripes knit with soft, fluffy lace-weight mohair. To enhance the beautiful ruffled effect, use slightly larger needles for a more dramatic finish. This shawl not only showcases your knitting skills but also adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.

The pattern is thoughtfully written with both metric and US terminology, ensuring that knitters from all backgrounds can easily follow along. Plus, there are no charts needed—making it an accessible project that's perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike.

With a gauge of 17 stitches × 35 rows = 10 cm / 4" in garter stitch using the main color and smaller needles—lightly blocked—this shawl is both a quick knit and a beautiful accessory that you’ll cherish for years to come. Try your hands at crafting the stunning Taival shawl, and elevate your knitting repertoire!
