A Gathered Triangle Shawl

This triangular shawl is knitted sideways. It is asymmetrical as the starting tip is narrower & longer than the ending tip. It has a slightly flared ending edge.

If you know how to knit & purl, increase & decrease stitches, you can knit this.

The Gathering Stitch pattern is alternating between gathered Stockinette & plain Garter Stitch sections. The Gathering effect is created by 1 increase row at the beginning & 1 decrease row at the end of the Stockinette sections.

The overall size of your shawl will depend on the yarn weight & needle size youll use, as well as on the length youll want to knit.

My sample shawl measures 170 x 80 cm. It was knit with a long colour-changing yarn & 5,5 mm needles.

Optional: I chose to knit the End Garter section with 5 mm needles to contain the flare. The stockinette sections on this shawl are 20 rows tall.

Happy knitting 🙂
