Transversal Shawl

‘Transversal’ is an innovative shawl pattern featuring a unique asymmetric triangle shape, adorned with an intricate allover Syncopated Brioche stitch pattern. This beautifully designed shawl is perfect for knitters who appreciate simple yet striking silhouettes. The name ‘Transversal’ reflects its distinctive construction: it is crafted as two separate triangles. The second triangle is effortlessly picked up along the edge of the first triangle, resulting in a visually stunning piece. Both sections are worked in a straightforward and easily memorized pattern, making this shawl an ideal project for knitters on the move who love to create.

Construction: The creation of this richly textured shawl begins with a stretchy cast-on method, providing the perfect foundation. It is then worked back and forth in rows to form the first triangle, with decreases on one edge until just a single stitch remains. After completing the first triangle, stitches are picked up along one edge to start the construction of the second triangle. Notably, the entire project is worked with two strands of yarn held together, enhancing its texture and warmth. This pattern allows knitters to explore the beautiful world of brioche and create a piece that is both practical and stylish.
