Tanjong Pagar

Discover the striking beauty of the Tanjong Pagar shawl, a stunning knitting pattern that showcases bold, graphic lines. This solid wrap is ingeniously crafted sideways, featuring wedges that are expertly divided by contrasting spokes, culminating in a unique, ruffled edge created using intarsia as you work. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, this pattern offers a creative and enjoyable experience.

The Tanjong Pagar shawl begins with the incredibly simple provisional Winding Cast-On, which serves as the foundation and evolves into the first garter-stitch spoke. You'll create six skillfully designed short-row wedges that lead to the final spoke. The unique cast-off technique unites the last and first spokes, flawlessly completing the elegant top edge. The semi-circular border at the bottom is characterized by a slightly ruffled horizontal rib, which also employs short rows for added texture and flair.

To enhance your knitting skills, this pattern includes step-by-step photos demonstrating a special short-row technique used exclusively for the initial row on each spoke. For those interested in mastering the ruffle technique, we provide a link to the German Short Rows video tutorial, ensuring you have all the resources you need to succeed (additional links are also provided within the pattern).
