Triple Point
The triple point is defined as the conditions of temperature and pressure under which a substance can co-exist in three phases – solid, liquid and gas. This shawl is a combination of three ‘phases’ of knitting; garter - where everyone starts off; stripes – a new skill of changing colors; and finally lace – a natural progression for many knitters. The unusual shape adds to the quirkiness of this shawl, and allows it to be worn in different ways and showcase the three ‘phases’.
Knit in fingering weight yarn the shawl starts with the garter stitch striped triangle with one increase every 4th row.
At the end of the triangle, stitches are cast on for the lace section which is knitted on to the live stitches.
The sample used approximately 425 yards main color and 160 yards contrast color, making it ideal for using up a half skein.
