Travel a Crooked Path

Sometimes, the knitting journey we embark on to create our beloved garments isn’t as straightforward as we initially envisioned. Why not embrace the twists and turns of knitting, and enjoy every stitch along that crooked path? Introducing our beautiful sideways asymmetrical triangle-shaped shawl pattern, designed with charming crooked lines of eyelets that break up the classic garter stitch body. This shawl is completely reversible, allowing you to showcase both sides of your stunning craftsmanship. When knitted with a vibrant hand-dyed fingering weight yarn, the end result is a light, airy one-skein shawl that adds a stylish touch to any outfit, perfect for traveling that path in the most fashionable way.

This exquisite pattern requires only one skein of Malabrigo Mechita, with the delightful color shown here being Dried Orange—an ideal choice for adding warmth and vibrancy to your ensemble. The pattern includes a comprehensive list of abbreviations, an easy-to-follow diagram, and clear written instructions to guide you through every step of the knitting process.

Upon completion, the finished shawl measurements are approximately 19 inches (49 cm) wide at the center and an impressive 60 inches (152 cm) long, when properly blocked. This makes it a versatile accessory that you can wear in various ways to suit your style.

The skills required for this pattern include increasing, decreasing, a lovely picot bind-off, and blocking techniques. You’ll also use basic stitches such as knit (k), purl (p), knit front and back (kfb), knit two together (k2tog), slip knit pass (SKP), and yarn over (yo). The combination of these techniques will elevate your knitting skills while creating a breathtaking shawl that you’ll treasure.

Whether you are an intermediate or advanced knitter looking for a new project, this shawl pattern is perfect for enhancing your knitting repertoire. Embrace the beauty of the crooked path and let your creativity shine with this stunning pattern!
