I fell in love with the fir cone stitch that is the basis for this design years ago. I even used it once before, as part of a much more complicated shawl design (In the Woods). It’s simple beauty has been calling to me again, and so I thought I’d use it in something where it could stand out, where its own beauty, its simple elegance could really shine.

This triangle starts with a cast on of only four stitches. It can be knit in different weights of yarn, to a given size, or until the yarn runs out. Five sizes in two different weights of yarn are provided in the pattern, as well as the option of two different bind offs, use whichever one you want, depending on how much yarn is left when you reach your desired length, and what kind of edge you prefer: plain or fancy.

Needles: US 6 (4 mm) for either size yarn.

Skills: k2tog, ssk, YO, picot bind off (optional).

Notions: Stitch markers are optional.

Stitch patterns: Charted and written.

Difficulty: Easy-intermediate.

A ños atrás me enamoré del punto de piña, que es la base de este diseño. Incluso lo usé una vez antes, como parte de un chal mucho más complicado (el chal In the Woods). Es simplemente su belleza lo que me ha llamado a usarlo, y pensar en un diseño donde pueda destacarse por sí solo, ya que su simple elegancia lo hace brillar.

Este triángulo comienza con un montado de sólo 4 puntos. Puede ser tejido en diferentes grosores de hilado, hasta el tamaño deseado o hasta que se acabe la madeja. El patrón posee instrucciones para cinco tamaños y para dos diferentes grosores de lana, como también la opción de dos diferentes cerrados de puntos, que puedes elegir dependiendo de cuanta lana te va quedando o del tamaño final que deseas; qué tipo de borde deseas: liso o adornado.
