Lily loves the appearance of layers of squishy garter stitch. It’s cosy, drapey, and always looks polished! This layered, asymmetric shape allowed her to introduce 3 colours in a minimal way, and gives the appearance of many layers of fabric without unnecessary bulk.

NOTES
The shawl is worked as two separate scalene triangles that are layered on top of each other so the points are misaligned. You begin by casting on 2 sides of the triangle, knitting to midway along this cast on edge, then working back and forth in short rows to create an asymmetric triangular shape. Once all stitches have been worked across, the first piece is set aside. The second piece is then worked in the same manner but with opposite shaping. Finally, both triangles are laid on top of each other and joined with an i-cord 3-Needle Bind Off.
