Tilted Triangle
Discover the beauty of this large, slightly asymmetric shawl, masterfully crafted without seams in two elegant sections. The first part features a delightful striped pattern, which is knitted with creativity and flair. After completing the Striped section, stitches for the Solid section are expertly picked up from the short side of the Striped portion, allowing for a seamless transition between the two designs. Whether you want to use four contrasting colors, as showcased in our sample, or opt for a simpler two-color scheme with a solid hue paired with a self-striping yarn, the possibilities are endless. Let your creativity run wild and enjoy the knitting journey!
YARN: For this shawl, we used the luxurious Tukuwool Fingering (213 yds / 195 m per 50 g skein, 100% wool), which beautifully highlights the intricate patterns. If you're looking to substitute the yarn, be sure to choose a high-quality Fingering-weight yarn with a total of approximately: 850 yds / 777 m for the Main Color (MC), and for Contrasting Colors: 130 yds / 119 m for CC1, 110 yds / 101 m for CC2, 100 yds / 92 m for CC3, and 90 yds / 82 m for CC4. This ensures your shawl has the same aesthetic appeal and cozy warmth.
NEEDLES & NOTIONS: You'll need a size 6 US / 4 mm circular needle to create this beautiful piece, along with a row counter to keep track of your progress and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky yarn ends. These tools will help you accomplish a polished and professional finish on your shawl.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 40 rows in Garter stitch to ensure your shawl measures a lovely 4” / 10 cm, giving it the perfect drape and fit around your shoulders. By adhering to this gauge, you’ll create a stunning finished product that you can be proud to wear or gift to someone special.
