Wild at Heart Stripe is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knitted in fingering-weight yarn with a very simple garter stripe and eyelet pattern perfect for showing off your wildest skein. You know you have that one skein in your stash that is so crazy you don’t know what to do with it! Pair it with a mini-skein in a contrasting solid or tonal – or even a contrasting variegated yarn! Show off your wild side with Wild at Heart Stripe!

I designed Wild at Heart Stripe to be a very quick and easy pattern with a simple eyelet stitch that will not get lost if you choose a crazy, variegated yarn. Experienced knitters should find it exceedingly easy to knit this little shawl. It could also be a great first asymmetrical triangular shawl for ambitious beginners. A “sock set” would work perfectly with this shawl, as long as there is some contrast between the two colors in the set.

Pattern includes a chart for the eyelet section as well as written instructions.

I have another version without stripes which can be found here Wild at Heart.
