Lana Grossa Silkhair Dreieckstuch – Knitted Triangle Shawl Pattern (Model 14, Filati Tücher & Co. 02)

This free downloadable PDF from Lana Grossa presents Modell 14 from the Filati Tücher & Co. 02 collection: a beautifully elegant triangular shawl (Dreieckstuch) featuring a delicate eyelet lace border (Ajourborte). The finished piece measures a generous 180 x 95 cm (width x height), making it a versatile accessory that can be worn as a shawl, wrap, or stole. The design is worked in the luxurious Lana Grossa Silkhair yarn in Türkisgrün (colour 120), a rich teal-green shade that beautifully showcases the lace detailing.

What Is Being Made

The project is a triangular knitted shawl with an openwork lace border. The shawl begins at the tip with just 3 stitches and is gradually shaped through regular increases on both sides, growing outward to its full wingspan of 180 cm. The body of the shawl is worked in smooth stockinette stitch (glatt rechts), while the outer border introduces a charming eyelet lace pattern (Lochmuster) worked from a chart. The combination of the plain stockinette centre and the airy lace edging gives the shawl a refined, lightweight aesthetic perfectly suited to the silk-blend yarn.

Construction and Shaping Techniques

• Top-down triangular construction: The shawl is cast on with just 3 stitches at the tip and grows through systematic increases worked on both sides every 8 rows, adding 4 stitches per side within each 8-row repeat.
• Increase method: Increases are placed at the centre of the work and are knitted in stockinette, keeping the central spine smooth and clean.
• Chart-based lace border: After working rows 1–24 once, the lace pattern rows 25–32 are repeated continuously, building the eyelet border as the shawl widens. By row 24, the stitch count has grown to 29 stitches; by the completion of the border section the count reaches 237 stitches.
• Double-stranded finishing section: Once the full stitch count of 237 stitches is reached, all stitches are worked double-stranded (doppelfädig) and cast off loosely, adding a subtle weight and definition to the outer edge.
• Blocking: The finished shawl is pinned to the stated measurements, dampened, and left to dry — an essential finishing step that opens up the lace pattern and evens out the drape of the silk-blend fabric.

Stitches and Techniques Used

• Stockinette stitch (glatt rechts): Right-side rows are knitted, wrong-side rows are purled throughout the body of the shawl.
• Eyelet lace pattern (Lochmuster / Ajourborte): Worked from a stitch chart using yarn-overs (Umschlag / U) and corresponding decreases to create the openwork holes characteristic of traditional lace knitting.
• Yarn-overs (U): Used both as decorative elements within the lace chart and as increase stitches to shape the triangle.
• Edge stitches (Rand-M): Selvedge stitches are maintained throughout for a neat, even edge.
• Chart reading: The pattern is presented with a stitch chart; right-side (Hin-R) rows are numbered on the right-hand side of the chart, and wrong-side (Rück-R) rows are worked according to the chart key.
• Double-stranded knitting: Used for the final cast-off section to create a firm, decorative outer border.
