Hello everyone, welcome back to another symmetrical triangle shawl with scalloped edges. What I like to talk to you about is how I make a new Idea and come up with a new design. Usually when I try to knit a new shawl, I go over all the knitting patterns that I got interested in my navigation time and saved their links, then I try to make it suitable for a triangle shape, sometimes I find it possible and other times I don't. I look also for a matching last rows in order to get a wavy or scalloped edges, to give a strong look to the overall shawl. When all are set and decided, the most important last thing that I take into consideration is that the instructions must be simple, clear, and easy to follow for you knitting friends.
This is one of my designs that went through all the phases that I've talked about above. it is medium size shawl that can be taller as you read carefully the note regarding how to get a larger size. It also has a new interesting cast on method that I have tried for the first time, and if you like this shawl you can pick up your yarn and needles and don't waste time to start making it. Have a nice spring times.
Overview:
- Skill level: Intermediate.
- Instructions style: written pattern + chart.
- Yarn weight: #4/ medium/ worsted.
- Available sizes: one size (see detailed measurements below).
- Size customization: you can make the size bigger by repeating the general pattern more than what is mentioned in the instructions. The total number of repetitions must be an odd number, for example: 13, 15, 17, etc.
