Elegantly Simple Triangle Shawl

HeartStrings knitting pattern #A33

This shawl is knit in one of those lovely laces based on the Shetland feather and fan stitch. There is so much movement and interest in the pattern that it may look more difficult to do than it really is. Starting at the lower point of the shawl and increasing to as wide as you want, it becomes a lovely fan-shaped neck scarf or shoulder wrap with scalloped points at the upper edge.

A retailer will ship directly to you.

Size to desired length/width (length will be half of width). Guidelines for laceweight yarn -- 200 yards for 32" wide, 600 yards for 54", 1000 yards for 72", 6 stitches/inch, size US 5 / 3.75 mm needles suggested. Easily adjusts to other weights of yarn with corresponding adjustment in needle size and yardage. Charted instructions. Pictured above is the shoulder wrap version knitted in a handspun 2-ply yarn of silk/merino/angora. It is really yummy and light.
