Don’t let the math reference fool you - Gradient Geometry is a simple, triangular-shaped shawl consisting of garter and stockinette stitch. The shawl is worked from the center out, in-the-round to form a diamond shape, which is subsequently joined to two triangles using the three-needle bind off method. The border is then worked using the live stitches that were previously placed on hold.
The red/brown shawl is knit in Miss Babs Gradient in Yummy 2-ply Toes in Sugar Maple (red) and Espresso (brown). The purple/gold shawl is knit in Dutch Iris One (purple) and Old Gold (gold).
Gauge
22 sts by 52 rows = 4 inches in garter st
Yarn
The shawl uses two gradient sets, 6 skeins per set, 133 yds/skein. This shawl also lends itself to using up scrap yarn or you can substitute two 400-yard skeins for each gradient set. (You can also be creative and make up your own “gradient(s)” by picking out 12 individual skeins of Miss Babs 2-ply Toes.)
