Tri, Tri, Tri Again
I love seeing your projects, tag @winterberryknits in your Instagram photos.
I have always enjoyed triangles. My fascination with them started in Geometry and was followed by right square triangles in quilting. The triangle shape has been a staple in my shawl design, but this time I wanted to add more. How do I create three triangles within a triangle shawl? The challenge was to keep it simple. Here’s how it comes together…
The first asymmetric triangle forms naturally as you knit. Triangles two and three are created as triangle two expands across the row. The simpler stitch patterns give you variety as the triangles form.
A friend apply named this shawl, Tri, Tri, Tri Again, for the three triangle shapes. Little did she know that this designs took three tries to create just the perfect triangle combination. I guess the old adage remains true - “If you don’t succeed, try, try, again.”
