A 1-color garter stitch triangular shawl that is truly purl-free!

THE STORY

I love garter stitch - it eliminates that pesky purl stitch that just messes with my flow. This shawl has NO purl sts - just good ol’ garter and some simple lace. This shawl is the quintessential TV knit project!

NOTES

  • This triangular shawl is worked sideways from the cast on point to the bound off long edge, with the longest edge being the neckline of the shawl.

  • Written instructions are provided for the entirety of the shawl. Charted instructions are provided for the Body of the shawl following the Cast On & Setup section.

  • Note that the charted instructions vary graphically from the written instructions. Work from the written instructions for the Cast On & Setup Section, then the remainder of the shawl may be worked from the charts with the exception of the Border and Bind Off.

  • Adjust needle size as necessary to match gauge.
