Shawls

Dappled Shawl

The Dappled Shawl is similar in shape to the Truly Triangular Scarf but is knitted from one corner to the opposite edge, like the Blended Shawl. One skein, or any amount, of fingering/sock yarn will work and it is well suited to variegated yarns.


Blended Shawl

Closeup of the Blended Shawl

The Blended Shawl is a sideways asymmetrical triangular garter stitch shawl. The shawl starts with one stitch and ends at the opposite long side. This easy knitting pattern includes the instructions to create this popular shawl shape, along with a technique for blending multiple colours of yarn into one cohesive design.


Jagged Triangular Scarf

Jagged Triangular Shawl

This easy garter stitch sideways scarf is based on the Totally Triangular Scarf but with a decorative edge. It begins and ends with only 8 stitches. One skein of sock or fingering yarn is all you need.


Truly Triangular Scarf

Truly Triangular Shawl

This is a simple garter stitch sideways triangular scarf. It begins with only a few cast-on stitches and ends with the same. The increase stitch used is the kfb and the decrease stitch used is k2tog. The increase and then decrease stitches are worked on every right side row, causing the scarf to increase and then decrease quite sharply, creating a true triangle shape. The slipped stitch edge is neat and straight and any amount of yarn may be used.

This simple garter stitch sideways triangular scarf also begins and ends with just a few stitches. It also uses the kfb and k2tog increase and decrease stitches but the difference is that the increase and then decrease stitches are worked on every second right side row, causing the scarf to increase and then decrease more gradually, creating a longer, leaner triangle. This scarf also has a neat and tidy slipped stitch edge and any amount of yarn may be used.

This cotton dishcloth is a quick and easy knit. It is simple, symmetrical, and the two stockinette bands at each end mimic a traditional dishcloth, hence the name ‘Copycat Dishcloth’.
