Windgate

Originally featured in the stunning collection 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing, the Wingate shawl is now available in both English and Finnish, making it accessible for a wider audience of knitting enthusiasts. This beautifully crafted reversible triangular shawl is designed to be knitted starting from the widest edge, showcasing a maximum number of stitches to create an eye-catching design. As you knit, you'll experience decreases on every fourth row, allowing the rows to become progressively shorter and quicker to complete—perfect for those who love a satisfying knitting project.

The Wingate shawl features a unique combination of garter stitch and columns of fisherman’s ribbing, resulting in an intriguing accordion-like texture that adds depth and dimension to your finished piece. One of the advantages of this pattern is its versatility; it's easy to adjust the size to your preference by adding or subtracting repeats, making it ideal for knitters of all skill levels. To add a playful touch, tiny tassels are added to the cast-on edge, enhancing the overall aesthetic of this stunning shawl.

Yarn Requirements: For this project, you will need 3 skeins of Corriedale Sock Twist by Wilde Seele (100% Corriedale wool, 437 yds / 400 m – 100 g), specifically in the elegant colourway Silverlining for Yarn A. Additionally, you'll need 3 skeins of Kid Mohair and Mulberry Silk by Wilde Seele (70% kid mohair, 30% mulberry silk, 459 yds / 420 m – 50 g), also in the Silverlining colourway as Yarn B.

If you prefer flexibility, you may opt for approximately 1000 yds / 910 m of both yarn A and B combined, or choose a single thicker yarn to achieve the desired gauge.
