Triptych

Discover the elegance of the Triptych Shawl, a stunning crescent-shaped accessory that artfully showcases three contrasting colors in three different yarn weights: DK, fingering, and lace. This unique design acts as a triptych of weights unified in one gauge, allowing knitters to explore the interplay of varied textures and hues. While the pattern sample highlights the beauty of these three yarns, it can also be effortlessly adapted into a “regular” shawl worked in your preferred weight and color combinations to suit your personal style.

The Triptych Shawl serves as an excellent tool for knitters eager to deepen their understanding of gauge and to dispel common misconceptions about it. The relaxing stockinette stitch at the beginning allows you to appreciate the density and drape of each yarn weight, providing a rewarding experience as you knit. An easy-to-follow cable pattern keeps your attention while knitting, laying beautifully flat thanks to cleverly placed increases that form stunning diamond shapes. The shawl finishes with a delicate garter stitch border, which can be beautifully shaped with blocking to highlight the intricate details.

This comprehensive pattern is available in both English and French, starting on page 10, making it accessible to a diverse range of knitters. Whether you're an experienced artisan or a beginner looking to expand your skills, the Triptych Shawl offers an enjoyable project that blends creativity and technique.
