A reversible triangle shawl knit side-to-side with simple techniques designed to maximize small quantities of yarn. Pattern is easily adjustable for whatever amount of yarn you want to use. An airy faggot stitch worked on larger needles than normally called for by fingering-weight yarn makes this shawl light as a whisper. Vertical bands of garter stitch form pretty vertical lines and add textural and visual interest. And because of the sideways construction, any striping effects in the yarn are oriented vertically for a more slimming look, overall. Especially lovely in yarn with a light halo or glammed out in a silky yarn with a bit of sparkle, the shawl can be worn draped over the shoulders as an elegant wrap or coiled around the neck as a luxurious cowl.

Easily customizable for any quantity of yarn! Suggested yardage is for size of sample.

The pattern is, essentially, comprised of garter stitch band and a simple 2-row faggot stitch with different treatments for increasing and decreasing. It’s not complicated, so don’t be fooled by the pattern -- extra instructions were included for people who want to understand how to customize for different yardage or placement of design elements.
