Product Description
Pattern in English and German – Anleitung auf Englisch und Deutsch
Hinterm Stein’s SIGNATURE SHAWL = timless elegance!
Quadri is a double sided lightweight Shawl that uses an easy to learn technique to obtain alternating texture and visibility. The squares – quadri – are worked as you go using only one single strand (no ends to weave in).
The clever technique of Navajo knitting has been refined – creating a shawl with an exceptional and unique effect.
It is much more difficult to explain the technique than to knit it :)

Quadri Shawl by Hinterm Stein
What Is Being Made
The Quadri Shawl is a double-sided lightweight shawl designed as a perfect summer knit. This downloadable knitting pattern creates a shawl measuring approximately 50cm (20 inches) wide and 150cm (59 inches) long in the shown size, which features 4 squares per 12 squares. The shawl is highly customizable—knitters can adapt the finished dimensions by working either 4 or 6 squares in a row and repeating as many times as desired in length. The visual appearance can also be personalized by choosing to fill only the outer squares or all squares throughout the design.
Techniques Used
The Quadri Shawl employs a refined version of Navajo knitting, a traditional technique that creates distinctive visual and textural effects. The pattern uses a clever as-you-go construction method, meaning the squares are worked directly into the final shawl rather than being assembled separately. This technique alternates between single and triple plies throughout the knitting process, which produces the shawl's unique double-sided appearance and alternating texture. The designer notes that while the technique may seem complex to explain, it is straightforward and easy to memorize when actually knitting.
Stitches and Pattern Details
The Quadri pattern features an easy-to-memorize design suitable for beginner-level knitters. The squares—which give the shawl its name—are the primary structural and visual element, with knitters alternating between working with single-ply and triple-ply yarn sections. This ply variation creates the alternating texture and visibility that defines the shawl's aesthetic. The pattern requires tightening the yarn strand at the beginning and end of every square (referred to as every "Quadro" in the pattern), which is an important technical step in achieving the finished effect.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
The Quadri Shawl is worked in lace-weight yarn. The designer recommends selecting a yarn that is tear-resistant, as the strands must be tightened repeatedly throughout the construction process. Suitable fiber options include silk, alpaca, linen blends, or other durable materials that can withstand this handling. For the shown size (4 squares per 12 squares), the pattern requires 880 yards of lace-weight yarn. Knitters adapting the shawl to larger dimensions by increasing the number of squares should calculate additional yardage accordingly.
