Triangular Stripes

Discover our versatile knitting pattern for creating stunning triangular shawls, perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters! This pattern includes detailed written instructions and an easy-to-follow chart, allowing you to craft a variety of items, such as a luxurious shawl, a cozy shawlette, or a charming kerchief. The size of your finished piece can easily be adjusted based on the amount of yarn you have on hand, making it a flexible option for any knitting project.

Yarn: For a beautiful shawl, you will need approximately 600 meters of yarn, while a kerchief requires about 300 meters of sport or fingering weight yarn. We recommend using Scheepjes Bamboo Soft, which is a delightful blend of 50% rayon and 50% cotton, providing both comfort and elegance (150 m per 50g).

Needles: To ensure your stitches are just right, use needles sized between ?3 and ?3.25, which are ideal for achieving the correct gauge.

Gauge: For this pattern, aim for a gauge of 21 stitches and 46 rows to equal 10 centimeters when working in garter stitch. Maintaining this gauge will help your finished project match the expected dimensions.

Approximate Size: When finished, your shawl will be approximately 165 cm in length and 65 cm in depth. If you opt for a kerchief, it will measure around 86 cm in length, 40 cm in depth, and feature ties that extend approximately 20 cm. These dimensions make the shawl and kerchief versatile pieces that can be worn in various ways.

Required Skills: This pattern is beginner-friendly and requires basic knitting techniques such as casting on, binding off, knitting, purling, and making increases. With these foundational skills, you’ll be well-equipped to bring this stylish accessory to life!

Embrace your creativity and make a unique shawl or kerchief that fits your style. Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or looking for a cozy wrap on a cool evening, this pattern offers endless possibilities!
