Introducing the Triangular Garter Stitch Shawl: This beautifully crafted shawl combines two contrasting colors in a stunning design that is sure to turn heads. This pattern is not only visually appealing but also highly functional, making it a perfect addition to your wardrobe for any season.
Pattern Overview: The triangular garter stitch shawl is designed to be knitted modularly, allowing knitters to pick up stitches along the edges of already knitted triangles. This technique creates a seamless and elegant finish. The shawl is framed by a cozy border that is also finished in sections, providing a chic look that complements its triangular shape.
Yardage Information: The prototype of this shawl was crafted using two skeins of Wollmeise DK, requiring just under 200 grams of each color. As garter stitch yardage can vary significantly from one yarn to another, we recommend adding an extra 10% to your yarn requirements to ensure you have enough for your project. Your actual yardage may vary based on your knitting style and tension.
