Isopleuron
This pattern is also available for purchase via Payhip and LoveCrafts.
A triangle of triangles; equilateral triangles to be exact! The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid was the first person to describe triangles, they appear on the very first page of his treatise Elements – he states:
Of trilateral figures, an isopleuron (equilateral) triange is that which has its three sides equal. Euclid, Elements, 1.def.20
Using only simple stitches, the shawl has a textured, reversible and graduated design that is perfect for showing off hand-dyed and gradient yarns.
Sample shown in Bilum Hand Dyed Yarns ‘Sipsip’ (100% Merino Wool), in a Green-Pink gradient colourway.
