Triangular Shawl LISSIEEE XXL Knitting Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Triangular Shawl LISSIEEE XXL is a large, adjustable triangular scarf designed by WoolAffair. This garment measures 67 inches by 32 inches (170 x 80 centimeters) in its standard size, though the pattern allows for customization to create smaller or larger versions. The triangular shape makes this shawl versatile for draping around shoulders, wearing as a wrap, or styling as a generous scarf. This beginner-friendly knitting project is perfect for crafters looking to create a statement accessory piece.

Craft and Techniques

This pattern uses fundamental knitting techniques suitable for beginners. The primary construction method involves working in stockinette stitch, which creates a smooth, classic fabric with a distinctive V-pattern appearance. The shawl is built using strategic increases worked throughout the piece to achieve its triangular shape. Yarn over increases and knit through back loop (tbl) increases are employed to expand the stitch count as you progress through the pattern. The pattern features a garter slipped edge selvedge stitch, which creates a neat, finished edge along the sides of the garment. Decreases using knit two together (k2tog) are also incorporated into the pattern structure.

Stitches Used

• Stockinette Stitch: The main stitch throughout the shawl, created by alternating knit and purl rows to produce a smooth fabric
• Garter Slipped Edge Selvedge Stitch: A specialized edge treatment that creates a polished, finished appearance along the sides
• Yarn Over (yo): Used to create decorative increases and lace-like details within the pattern
• Knit Through Back Loop (tbl): An increase technique that adds stitches while maintaining pattern integrity
• Knit Two Together (k2tog): A decrease stitch that reduces stitch count where needed in the pattern

Materials and Specifications

This pattern requires approximately 9 ounces (250 grams) of yarn, though the exact yardage needed depends on your chosen finished size. The recommended yarn weight is DK (double knitting) or medium light weight, with a standard yardage of 150 meters per 50 grams. Knitting needles in size US 6 / UK 8 (4 millimeters) are required, and a circular needle style is recommended for this project. Additional supplies include a stitch marker for tracking pattern repeats, an embroidery needle for weaving in ends, and scissors. The pattern specifies a gauge of 17 stitches by 30 rows over a 4 by 4 inch (10 by 10 centimeter) swatch in stockinette stitch, which is essential for achieving the correct finished dimensions.
