Tuplet
A unique and easy striped crescent shawl using three different shades.
In the world of music a “tuplet” is an irrational rhythm. If the music is a straight 4/4 beat, the tuplet both fits in and stands out adding notes where you don’t expect them – making square music swing.
This shawl brings the tuplet to knitting. Instead of knitting back and forth like a straight 4/4 beat, this shawl mixes up the row directions, making attractive colorwork stripes with no ends to weave in as you go.
The sample shawl is done in a lovely gradient using three different subtly variegated skeins, but the Tuplet shawl could also be done with solid contrasting colors in any order. Or two solids and a loud busy hand-dyed. You decide.
There are extra instructions here.
