DETAILS

The asymmetrical triangle-shaped New Stripes shawl is a big, luxurious accessory. The shawl can be casually wrapped around the neck or worn resting on the shoulders as a stylish accessory.

Besides the asymmetrical triangle shape, the shawl’s wavy stripe pattern brings fluctuation into the appearance of the shawl. The main color, gray, is included in every section of the shawl, toning down the appearance. The shawl is knitted with garter stitch. The waves of the stripes are formed by alternating increasings and decreasings. The shawl is knitted sideways, starting from the corner. The look of the shawl is finished off with an I-cord edge, the color of which can change the look of the shawl completely.
