Tumalo Shawl

Introducing the Tumalo Shawl, a stunning example of directional knitting that adds a unique twist to your accessory collection. This beautiful shawl utilizes three balls of solid cotton colors that seamlessly blend with a variegated skein in similar hues, creating a visually striking piece. The pattern features exquisite diagonal eyelet ribs crafted from both stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches, ensuring a lovely texture that will elevate any outfit.

Starting with Color A at the point of this triangle-shaped shawl, the diagonal ribs elegantly slant to the right. To shape the shawl, you will increase one stitch on each right-side row, while both side borders showcase charming I-cords. After a section in Color A, the shawl transitions to Color B, which takes a delightful turn to the left for 5”/13cm before changing direction once more. You are welcome to switch directions as often as you like, allowing for endless creativity and personalization in your shawl design.

This versatile pattern accommodates any fingering to worsted weight yarn, though I personally favor plant-based fibers for their softness and drape. Feel free to use whatever needle size is recommended for your chosen yarn weight, ensuring that your project is both comfortable and easy to work with. The finished size of your Tumalo Shawl is entirely up to you, making it a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels.

Best of all, this shawl is reversible, providing you with two beautiful options to flaunt! Whether you want to wear it casually or as a statement piece, the Tumalo Shawl is sure to impress.
