Three sizes, three moods, one beautifully draping shawl.
This triangular shawl is worked in simple Tunisian crochet stitches that create a fluid, supple fabric with excellent drape and warmth. Clean lines and thoughtful shaping allow the triangle to adapt effortlessly across three distinct variations.
The smallest size features a subtle beaded edge and is worn close to the neck as a soft, elegant cowl. The larger sized shawl is designed to showcase colour play, making it ideal for versions using 20g sock-yarn mini skeins, and is finished with a border in a different pattern.
The third variation is a shrug, worked in an aran yarn, where the two outer points of the triangle are sewn to the back edge to form cuffs.
Whether styled as a cowl, a classic shawl, or a shrug, Three Ways Triangle celebrates the versatility of a simple form and the beauty of Tunisian crochet.
