Product Details

This is a companion pattern to the 4 ply/fingering version already published.

This side to side shawl is simple to knit with an effective pattern that starts as a natural Tiles motif on a muted brown background. At the centre of the shawl, the pattern changes to a Parquet pattern and then to a stripe. The stripes down the centre back enable the change in the colour focus and the following Parquet and Tiles patterns have their colours reversed with a brown motif on a natural background.

There are some changes to the pattern in this version. An i-cord edge replaces the rib borders and the increases are done using a make 1 stitch rather than a yarn over.

Counterchange is a term for a pattern whereby the colours of the motif and its ground are reversed in another part of the design to balance the elements. The Tiles pattern used here is from the Barbara G Walker book, Mosaic Knitting, published in 1997.
