Flounce Shawl by Truly Myrtle
What is Being Made
Flounce is a triangular shawl design created by independent designer Truly Myrtle. This versatile wrap features a wingspan of approximately 74 inches (188 cm) when blocked, making it suitable for multiple styling options. The shawl can be worn draped over shoulders, hung gracefully down the back, or wrapped around the neck for a cosy, whimsical aesthetic. Flounce transitions seamlessly between formal occasions when paired with a gown and casual everyday wear with jeans.
Techniques and Construction
Flounce employs straightforward knitting techniques combined with thoughtful design elements that create visual interest despite their simplicity. The shawl features soothingly-addictive stripes that guide the knitter through multiple colour changes, making the knitting process engaging and meditative. The design incorporates unexpected angles that add dimension and movement to the finished piece.
The shawl progresses through distinct sections: a striped body section, a deceptively simple slipped-stitch edge, and a finishing rippling border that creates the characteristic flounce effect. This construction method allows both experienced knitters and adventurous beginners to achieve professional-looking results.
Stitches Used
- Basic knit and purl stitches for the striped body sections
- Slipped stitches for the edge detail
- Border stitches creating the rippling finish
Yarn and Materials
Flounce requires 3 skeins of Primo Fingering by Plucky Knitter, a luxury fingering-weight yarn composed of 75% superwash merino, 20% cashmere, and 5% additional fibres. The 4-ply yarn weight provides excellent stitch definition while the blend of merino and cashmere creates a soft, durable fabric with natural elasticity and warmth.
The pattern includes a handy colouring-in page to help knitters plan their stripe sequences and colour combinations before beginning, allowing for personalized design choices.
Difficulty Level
Rated as intermediate difficulty, Flounce is accessible to both experienced knitters seeking a quick project and adventurous beginners ready to expand their skills. The simple stitch patterns combined with straightforward shaping make this an ideal intermediate project that builds confidence without overwhelming complexity.
