Stiallach Shawl

This shawl is perfect for beginners to shawl knitting, but also for those new to knitting with more than one colour too.

I’m also hoping to help knitters understand how triangular shawls develop with this very simple yet elegant shawl pattern.

The design for this shawl was inspired by my Fankle, Old Shale and Skoosh! shawls. After completing these three designs,I wanted to create a fourth shawl that would include a little colour work. The thought of knitting with more than one colour can be slightly daunting to most new knitters, but this is a straightforward striped pattern and is very easy to follow: the main body is worked in stocking stitch, changing the yarn colour after every second row. The shawl is then finished off with a little lace border.
