Simple Triangle Shawl Knit Kit
Simple Triangle Shawl Knit Kit
A generous triangular shawl for wrapping around your shoulders on cooler days. Naturally’s N1655 design combines stocking stitch with moss-stitch texture in soft Chaska Wara 8ply, a blend of baby alpaca, merino wool and Pima cotton.
Skill level and construction
Confident Beginner. A useful next project if you can knit and purl and want to practise yarn-over increases and keeping a repeating texture in order. The shawl grows from a small starting point and is worked flat on a circular needle; you do not join it into a round. Finish with a loose patterned cast-off and weave in the ends.
Materials and kit contents
- 1,050 metres of Chaska Wara 8ply in your chosen colour, supplied in full yarn units.
- One printed Simple Triangle Shawl knitting pattern N1655.
- Hand Made with Love leather tag and stitch markers.
- Knitting needles when you select With Needles.
The kit includes a printed pattern. The pattern is also sold separately.
Size and tension
One size. The pattern gives two finished edge measurements of approximately 179 × 160 cm; these are edge measurements, rather than a verified perpendicular height.
18 stitches and 28 rows = 10 cm on 5 mm needles. Use the pattern tension rather than the yarn-label tension. Make and wash a swatch before starting; our guide to checking knitting tension explains how.
Needles and finishing tools
The pattern requires a 5 mm circular needle with an 80 cm cord and a tapestry needle for the ends. Choose Without Needles if you already have the knitting needle. A tapestry needle is required separately.
About the yarn and care
Chaska Wara is 42% baby alpaca, 8% merino wool and 50% Pima cotton, with 150 metres per 50 g. Hand wash gently and dry flat in the shade, following the ball band.
