This 3-color, asymmetrical triangular shawl is an addictive knitting adventure! Fox Tails Shawl has stripes of garter stitch, a simple color layout and a surprisingly easy lace pattern resembling fox tails. You’ll want to knit just one more row, and just one more row again!
Pattern includes both charted and written instructions for the lace sections.
Difficulty
Adventurous beginner or intermediate knitter: must be able to knit with multiple colors, basic stitches (k, p) and basic lace stitches (yo, k2tog, ssk).
Adaptable shawl pattern
This pattern can be made with any yarn from fingering to worsted weight. The pictured shawl was made using 3 colors of sport weight yarn (Malabrigo Arroyo). Instructions include tips to make the shawl longer or smaller, and to make a 2-color version.
