Introducing the "Thirty, Flirty and Thriving" triangle shawl, a stunning top-down design that combines effortless elegance with easy knitting techniques. This shawl features a garter tab cast-on and uncomplicated triangle shaping, making it perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters alike. The primarily stockinette stitch layout is beautifully accented with interspersed garter bumps, which not only add texture but also serve as a fantastic foundation for your eye-catching ruffle!

To create this exquisite accessory, you will need 800 yards (732 meters) of fingering weight yarn for the main color, plus an additional 250 yards (229 meters) of luxurious mohair yarn for the contrast color. This combination will give your shawl a lightweight, airy feel while providing warmth and style.

For knitting, we recommend using US size 5 (3.5 mm) needles with a 32-inch (80 cm) circular or longer for the main body of the shawl. For the ruffle, switch to US size 8 (5.0 mm) needles of the same length to achieve the perfect drape and finish on your shawl. Don't forget to have a tapestry needle handy for those finishing touches!

When it comes to gauge, aim for 22 stitches and 34 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. If your gauge differs, simply adjust your needle size to ensure your finished shawl matches the intended dimensions.

This shawl measures approximately 63 inches wide by 28.5 inches deep (160 cm wide by 72 cm deep) but is easily customizable to suit your unique style and preferences. Whether you wear it as a cozy wrap during chilly evenings or as a fashionable accessory for special occasions, the "Thirty, Flirty and Thriving" shawl is sure to become a beloved addition to your wardrobe.
