Zig-Zag Spiral
This unique knitting pattern is part of my brand new e-book, [Espiral][1], featuring a progressive selection of Eco-friendly knitting designs. Inside, you'll find five original shawl patterns, including an exclusive bonus shawl pattern!
Introducing the Zig-Zag Shawl, an elegant asymmetrical design meticulously crafted to be knitted on the bias in one continuous piece. This shawl showcases a stunning spiral shape combined with an architectural look that is sure to turn heads. The pattern features “true” lace techniques, including strategic increases and decreases on both edges, yet remains accessible. This distinctive zig-zag pattern is not only visually striking but also provides a fun and engaging knitting experience, making it perfect for both men and women.
This flexible and modular shawl pattern encourages creativity, allowing you to select your favorite yarn. You can customize the size of your Zig-Zag Shawl until you’re satisfied, at which point you can effortlessly complete it with a lovely picot bind-off. For reference, this sample shawl utilized approximately 335 meters (or 366.4 yards) of [Dona Maria][2], a beautiful hand-spun fingering weight yarn that offers an exquisite texture and drape.
