Undertow Triangle

**ABOUT** Undertow Triangle is inspired by the rough European Atlantic coastline: stormy skies over massive spraying waves breaking on rocky cliffs. A force of nature, deep dark and bright light at the same time. The DK weight yarn gives this shawl a blanket-like appeal and makes it the perfect accessory for a walk along stormy shores. The columns and diagonal lines create the impression of crossing currents, resulting in wave shaped knit and purl sections. The textured borders along the edges enforce the impression of a blanket and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with snuggling up in this shawl on the sofa instead of chasing the storm outside. **YARN Grey version:** 800 m DK weight yarn (e.g. LITLG Highland DK, 100 g/225 m) **Beige version:** 1.000 m sport weight yarn (e.g. LITLG Cashmere/Silk/Wool, 100 g/300 m) plus 1.200 m fingering weight yarn (e.g. LITLG Corriedale Sock, 100 g/400 m) **TECHNICAL Description** This large triangular shawl is knitted from one tip, increasing to one side in every other row. You can adjust the size any time by skipping to the finishing border early or just going on to make it even larger. **Techniques** This rustic and textured shawl is mainly worked in stockinette stitch, crossed by diagonal lines using slipped stitches and cabled stitches. **Dimensions** The finished scarf measures about 152 x 117 cm / 60 x 46“ (grey version) / 155 x 125 cm / 61 x 49“ (beige version) after washing and blocking. **Gauge** 17 sts x 27 rows = 10 cm / 4“ (grey version) / 16 sts x 25 rows = 10 cm / 4“ (beige version) in stockinette stitch. For a shawl, the gauge is not really important so don’t worry if you don’t meet the exact numbers. **Needles** 4,5 mm / US 7 circular needle in 100 cm / 39“ length **Notions** Tapestry needle, 13 stitch markers **Skill level** Beginner-friendly *In order to knit the shawl in a lighter yarn weight, the size can randomly be extended.
