This five-color rectangular wrap is worked in the round from the center out. Fort Tryon lends itself to experimenting with color — work it all in one color for a more formal feeling, or use up scraps from your stash and switch colors much more often for a playful shawl. Try two row stripes of color in each section, or vary the width of each stripe. The options for creating a shawl that is uniquely your own are limitless with this pattern.

The pattern is written for two sizes, and for two different yarn weights -- fingering and worsted -- but is easily adaptable to any size you’d like. The center strip will determine the ratio of length to width. Start with a square of garter stitch for a square shawl.

This shawl may be worked in any weight yarn, but keep in mind that the heavier the yarn, the more yarn you will need. Be sure to allow extra. The amount of yarn used can be impacted by slight differences in personal gauge, yarn weight, and variations — even in the same yarn category — from brand to brand.
