There is so much potential in the construction of a top-down triangular shawl – it doesn’t always have to end up being a shawl!
There is so much potential in the construction of a top-down triangular shawl – it doesn’t always have to end up being a shawl! In this pattern what starts just like a shawl ends up being a biased raglan t-shirt.
The shawl section is knit in garter stitch (either in stripes or solid). The body is worked on the bias to reflect the shawl shaping and add a little interest to the otherwise plain stockinette stitch. The hem is knit in reverse stockinette for some extra texture. The sleeves are worked in stockinette in contrasting color.
All edges are finished with an i-cord for a smooth and finished look. Choose between a funky striped version or an equally awesome colorblocked version.
Beware! This pattern is so much fun to knit & to wear, it’s addictive!
