Hartland Point is an asymmetric triangle shaped shawl which uses short rows to form the geometric design.

It is knit predominantly in garter stitch with texture provided by slipped stitch sections and a small amount of stocking stitch in the central triangle.

It begins at one end and increases are worked every four rows to the widest point. After the widest point decreases are worked every two rows to form the asymmetric shape.

It has an i-cord border which is knitted as you go for a neat edge.

None of the techniques used are complex and a link is provided to a tutorial for the German short rows. It is a large shawl with a lot of sections and a lot of short rows which means that the pattern is long but if you can knit, purl, slip stitches and work simple increases and decreases then you can knit this pattern!

The instructions for the slipped stitch sections are both written and charted, the rest of the pattern is written only

My sample uses three colours of Black Elephant single ply fingering weight merino in the following approximate amounts

Colour A – Ocean Warrior – 84g/307m/335y
Colour B – Shed Brid – 76g/278m/304y
Colour C – Coral Requiem – 48g/ 175m/191y

I used three yarns with fairly high contrast between them but it would work well with less contrast if you prefer a subtler version

It would also look great using leftovers or mini skeins to work each section in different colours

Gauge is not crucial for this project but will affect the final size and the amount of yarn used.

This is a very large shawl which comfortably wraps twice around the neck. My sample was approximately 8.5 feet/2.6m long by 21.5”/55cm deep

The pattern has been test knitted
