Product Description
I love to wear my shawls bandana style, with the point at the front, rather than the more traditional way. but I find many triangle shawls are just too big to wear like this! Equinox is a mini version of the traditional top down triangle shawl with the addition of oh so useful ties to keep it in place. Perfect for cooler autumn or spring days when you need an extra little bit of woolly insulation.
Designed with that one skein of hand dyed DK yarn you bought on impulse in mind...
Gauge: 17sts x 28 rows = 10cm stocking stitch worked in MC with 4.5mm needles, blocked.
Finished Dimensions: 140cm/55” x 45cm/18” with ties extending a further 23.5cm/9.25” beyond each outer point.
Equinox Bandana Shawl by Forest Flower Knits
What is Being Made
The Equinox Bandana Shawl is a mini triangle shawl designed specifically for wearing in bandana style, with the point positioned at the front rather than in the traditional shawl configuration. This design is a scaled-down version of the designer's Mid-Winter Shawl, created to provide a more manageable size for transitional season wear. The shawl includes integrated ties to keep it securely in place while worn as a bandana, making it practical for layering on days when you need extra warmth without the bulk of a full-sized shawl.
Techniques and Construction
This knitting project utilizes a two-color colorwork approach, combining a main color with a contrasting color to create visual interest. The shawl is constructed using a circular needle, which allows for the seamless working of the triangular shape. The design incorporates functional ties that serve both aesthetic and practical purposes, keeping the shawl anchored when worn bandana-style.

While specific stitch names are not detailed in the pattern excerpt provided, the construction method suggests the use of fundamental knitting techniques appropriate for a beginner-level project. The pattern is designed to be accessible to knitters new to shawl construction.
