Trail Ridge Shawl
Introducing the Trail Ridge Shawl, an exquisite asymmetrical triangular shawl designed for knitters who appreciate stylish and functional accessories. This unique shawl is knit on the bias, expertly shaped with simultaneous increases and decreases on both edges to create a stunning visual effect. The elegant chevron pattern can be followed with both written directions and detailed charts, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels.
Measurements: Wingspan: 70” / 178cm, Depth: 14” / 35.5cm. Perfect for wrapping around your shoulders or draping elegantly over your outfit.
Yarn: This beautiful shawl is made with Sport Weight / 3 ply yarn, requiring a total of 510 yards / 466 meters. The sample shown is crafted in Quince and Co Chickadee (100% Wool; 181 yards / 50g), specifically in the lovely Lichen colorway – a stunning choice that complements various styles. You will need 3 skeins to complete this project.
Needles: For this shawl, you will need US 6 / 4.0mm circular needles with a length of 32-40” / 80-100cm, as the shawl is worked flat and requires sufficient cord length to hold a larger number of stitches. Choose your needle size based on personal preference and to ensure you obtain the desired gauge.
Notions: Don’t forget your tapestry needle to weave in ends for a polished finish!
Gauge: Aim for a gauge of 19 stitches x 30 rows = 4” in garter stitch, blocked. While gauge is not crucial for this pattern, variations may impact your total yardage and the final measurements of your shawl, so keep this in mind as you knit.
