Shawl overview

The Dahlia Shawl will provide additional warmth on cooler summer evenings. It is knit in a blend of merino wool and cotton, which is great for spring and summer garments.

This is a top-down triangle shawl. The design features eyelet sections on a stockinette stitch background.

You will begin by knitting the garter tab. Next, you will work the body of the shawl. The triangle shape is created by making four yarn over increases every other row. They are made on both sides of the central stitch and along the top garter stitch border. When you are happy with the length of the shawl, you will work the garter stitch border, and bind off the stitches.

Finished size after blocking: 102 cm (40^1/4″) deep and 204cm (80^1/2″) wide.

Gauge: 21 stitches x 28 rows = 10 x 10cm (4 x 4″ ) in stockinette after blocking.

You will find the free knitting pattern below. Enjoy!

Pin the shawl to a blocking board or lay it on a clean and dry towel (make sure it doesn’t transfer color) and let it dry. Your knitting will look neat after blocking.

Shawl overview

A knit shawl is a beautiful and cozy accessory, that comes in all shapes and sizes.

This basic shawl has a triangle shape. It is knit flat in stockinette stitch and has a garter stitch border. It is shaped with symmetrical increases, so the left and right sides are identical.

The shawl is knit top-down starting from the center of the neck, making it easy to adjust the size of the finished item. You simply knit until you reach your desired length.

The shawl begins with a garter tab cast-on, that blends seamlessly with its top edge.

Finished size after blocking: 192cm/75.6” x 98cm/38.6”.

Gauge (not really important for this project): 18 stitches x 32 rows = 10 x 10cm (4 x 4″ ) in stockinette after blocking.
