Making Advances by Jennifer Dassau
This pattern is available on Ravelry.
Alternating textures in two colors decorate a bold triangle shawl, then advance unexpectedly to one side, for an asymmetric finish. Color choice is the focus, the shape is long and easy to wear, and the knitting is simple and relaxing.
Construction
Making Advances is worked top down from a garter tab CO for the main triangle, then stitches are bound off on one side and the remaining side is worked in a long asymmetric extension.
Techniques & Skills Used
garter tab CO
knit/purl
increasing/decreasing
Size
75” length and 22” depth.
Yarn
Hedgehog Fibres Skinny Singles (100% merino wool; 400 yards/366m/100g), shown in Urchin (A) and Vengeance (B); 1 skein each of two colors. The sample used approximately 355 yards A and 395 yards B. Using a drapey single or loosely plied yarn will help minimize rolling at the long bottom left edge.
Other Materials
US 6 (4mm) 32” circular needle, or size to match gauge
Yarn needle
Gauge
19 st and 38 rows/4” in stockinette stitch, after blocking. Gauge is not critical for this project, however a different gauge may result in a smaller or larger finished shawl, and different yardage requirements.
