This pattern will knit you an asymmetric, triangular shawl.

A ‘no frills’ pattern, designed for a feel-good knit and to let the yarn do the work.

The details in the pattern are for any skein, or ball of 100g of 4- ply/fingering yarn. But it will work just as well for any weight of yarn - remembering that the heavier the yarn, the more - in terms of meterage/yardage you will need, to get the size of shawl you want.

So grab that 100g of 4-ply/fingering that’s in the stash and is just waiting for the right pattern to show case it’s fabulous attributes - be that: colour, texture or softness.

The pattern is also ideal for when you just need that feel good knitting experience, but aren’t sure what to make. Or, are looking for something to pep-up an outfit and you have just the right colour skein in the stash to do the job.

Once the set-up section is completed, there are only two rows of pattern to follow throughout:

Row 1 (RS): K2, yo, K1, Kfb, K to last 2 stitches, yo, K2
Row 2 (WS): K all stitches

Repeat these two rows until you are coming to the end of your yarn, or have the size shawl you want. As a general rule of thumb, bind-offs needs a length of yarn equivalent to three times the full measurement of the row you are binding-off. So, if your final row equals 150cm/60ins, you will need three times that amount of yarn to make the bind-off.

I live in the county of Norfolk in the UK. It’s an area famed for its wild coasts, farmed land and ancient woodlands. I find living here a great source of inspiration for my knitting and designing, be that from the local weird and wonderful stories or the wild and raw natural environment that surrounds me.

The trade of Woodcutter is an ancient and essential skill. Woodcutters feature in The Domesday Book and medieval books of hours. Woodcutters not only provide firewood, essential for warmth and cooking but their specialist knowledge of the properties of different woods, is vital for ensuring the correct wood is chosen to meet the huge variety of purposes it is used for, including decorative objects.

Woodcutters are also amongst the first wildlife conservationist, since maintaining healthy, thriving woodland, is also a necessary part of the role.

Truth be told - this is a very personal pattern, as my husband was working as a woodman - and he did do some woodcutting, when I first met him. We’ve been together quite a while now, and he’s still never happier than when he’s outdoors.
