Welcome to Stacey Namaste Designs. This shawl is part of my Knitting for Healing series. Trauma can be defined as “Anything that overwhelms our capacity to cope and leaves us feeling hopeless and helpless,” ~Seane Corn, Yogi and Author. This series was inspired in order to provide choice and control for the maker in size, color scheme, design, and patterning. I hope you have fun, and every time you sit to knit this pattern, you can create a new design of your choosing.

This asymmetrical triangle shawl is designed to provide the maker agency, choice, and variation - you can use any yarn, any size, any color scheme. When worn, it does not need to be worn as a shawl - it can be worn as a scarf. This triangle shape is uniquely designed to create a curved neckline that wears beautifully. The cotton yarn I chose for this example has a lovely sparkle to it and is soft and flowing. For tips on styling, visit this site: 10 ways to style an asymmetrical shawl

The photographed example is in Louisa Harding Yarns Mazzo, a Bouquet of Color (medium/worsted) in color Campo di Rossi (03), needle size 8. This shawl used 2 skeins of this cotton/polyamide mix yarn, 100g each. One skein was used for the ridged lace and stockinette section, and the other was used for the side-to-side zigzag pattern.
