Linear Shawl by Rastus Hsu
Project Overview
The Linear Shawl is a beginner-friendly triangular shawl knitted from the bottom up. This downloadable knitting pattern creates a versatile accessory featuring horizontal garter stitch lines that intersect with a centre vertical slip stitch panel, producing a striking visual effect. The design's flexibility allows wearers to display the directional lines in different ways depending on how the shawl is worn.
What Is Being Made
A triangular shawl constructed using a bottom-up knitting method. The shawl showcases an interplay between horizontal and vertical stitch patterns, with the horizontal garter stitch lines meeting the centre vertical slip stitch panel to create visual interest and dimension.
Techniques and Stitches Used
- Garter Stitch: The primary stitch forming the horizontal lines throughout the shawl, created by knitting every row
- Slip Stitch: Used for the centre vertical panel, adding textural contrast to the design
- Colour Work: The pattern incorporates changing colours between yarn sections
- Russian Bind-Off: The finishing technique used to secure the final edge
- Stitch Markers: Two markers are used during construction to maintain pattern placement
Materials Required
Yarn: Approximately 178 grams of light fingering weight yarn totalling 1246 metres (1363 yards). The pattern specifies 100% wool yarn at 50 grams per 350 metres (383 yards) per skein. The sample shown uses two colourways: Colour A in Blue (approximately 90 grams / 630 metres / 689 yards) and Colour B in Light Grey (approximately 88 grams / 616 metres / 674 yards).
