Islet Triangle

Islet Triangle: A bias-knit triangle, two ways. This is a bonus accessory pattern included in the ebook Islets: Two Sweaters. Two versions are given: Shawl or Kerchief.

ISLET SHAWL

A fun progression of the original Islet stitch pattern, this larger take on the Islet Kerchief is worked up using full skeins: soft laceweight alpaca as the main color paired with a color-shifting sport weight yarn for a more substantial shawl that places the colorful garter ridges center stage.
