Sometimes geometry is a good thing, like in this “Line by line shawl”. It is knitted sideways in three contrasting colors and two yarns including a special Delicate skein to add a bit more depth. You’ll love the relaxing garter stitch knit and the large size, which is perfect to wrap yourself in.
The interesting shape is created with two triangles and a rectangular middle section. There are color blocks, stripes and a seemingly floating contrasting color stitch in this classic design.
In case you’re wondering about the sweater I am wearing It is called Maha..
The shawl measures 83” in overall length and 18.5” in middle height and the pattern is entirely written.
