“A Thneed is a highly versatile object knitted from the foliage of a Truffula Tree. According to the Once-ler, it is “A-fine-something-that-all-people need.”“ (https://seuss.fandom.com/wiki/Thneed)

This striped and textured symmetrical triangle shawl gives off heavy Dr. Seuss vibes -- at least in the green color pairing used in its creation.

Choose a different color palette for a completely different feel.

Yarn Used:

Two skeins of AJHC Wools SW DK (231yds/100g)
* Shown in color “Udea”
One skein of AJHC Wools Boucle DK (246yds/100g)
* Shown in color “Teal Green”

You may opt not to use a textured yarn like the Boucle DK. If so, choose another skein of DK yarn in a contrasting color to your main choice. A few yards difference in yardage won’t drastically affect the outcome of the shawl.

This shawl is knit top-down beginning with a garter tab and increasing consistently at both edges and on either side of the center spine stitch.

This entire shawl is knit following two separate, yet very simple, stripe instructions.

Stitches used:
* Knit
* Purl
* Yarn Over
* Make 1 Left
* Make 1 Right

Tools needed:
* 40” long circular needle in the size needed to obtain gauge
* 4 stitch markers
* tapestry needle
