Cozy, Stylish Light weight Triangle Shawl
PURCHASE AD FREE PATTERN BELOW
Spring is the best time to take out the light weight accessories. There is always in between temperatures that require a beautiful pop of colour when out and about.
Most spring days, it is cold in the morning, warm during the day and cool down at the end of the day.This shawl answers all those issues. It is not too heavy that you feel the need to take it out. You can loosen it around the neck while in the office and have it tighter when you go out and it’s nippy.
The inspiration of this shawl comes from a trending snood that was every where few month ago. I love shawls and scarves of all shapes and sizes, and I wanted to share this with you to be all fashionable, functional and add colour to the wardrobe. The is light weight, acrylic and cotton blend and it makes is breathable. It is honestly the best wind breaker you could own. I normally go with more neutral colours when I design shawls except the one below.
I played with colour on the shawl above and I had so much fun and I still enjoy 4 years later.

Yarn
The yarn used for this shawl is a 60% cotton, 40% acrylic Called Softee Cotton by Yarnspirations and it is so soft, has a light sheen and creates beautiful drape. I bet if you substituted with these, the drape would be as beautiful.The combination of cotton and herringbone stitch provide a defined look and show each stitch in detail which takes me to an issue that I will ignore the fact that it splits. I will definitely use it in the future for sure.
Versatility
I like how this shawl can be worn; you can wear it backwards the other way around depending on the mood. Have the tip in the back and have the tips hang in the front securing if around and shirt or turn it around to cover your neck if it is chilly or need to cover your neck.
If you live in a place where you can have two or sometimes three seasons in a day, this shawl is perfect for you. Don’t forget to keep it in the trunk, you never know when it will come in handy.
This triangle is made by increases and decreases. The first part of the shawl is made by increasing every row until you reach the tip of the triangle. The second part is made by decreasing every row until you reach the end. You should have the same number of rows on each side when you are done.
