Squishy worsted weight (10ply) yarn, stripes, colour changes, and a little texture. That’s what you’ll find in this wide, cosy triangle shawl. An easy, meditative knit perfect for 3 skeins (a speckled or variegated colour, a complimentary solid and solid with a good contrast) that doesn’t require blocking! Designed for bundling up, this shawl also has a curved top edge to go comfortably around your neck for perfect everyday wear.

This purchase comes with 4 PDFs. Instructions are written in 2 styles and the choice of 2 handy tick-sheets showing stitch counts, pattern placement, and colour changes are also provided to help you keep track of your work. One has stitch patterns included so that you can knit from the tick-sheet alone after set-up, and the other does not.

This pattern is written for Worsted weight yarn but is equally effective in DK (8ply) as only the finished size (and yardage) will vary.
