Surrey Avenue Shawl

The Surrey Avenue Shawl

This shawl is a large triangular shaped Shawl, knit up in aran Weight traditional Crunchy Shetland wool to maximize its homely cozy comforting appeal.

The construction is worked along the clear and simple lines of yarn over increases at the center spine of the shawl and at either ends to grow the piece evenly and swiftly, whilst switching between stripes of garter and panels of stockinette, at regular timed intervals.

This piece knits up so fast whilst you move through the clearly laid out path of mindless comforting Garter and then building interest as you create the alternating textured patterning and then move smoothly back into a Garter break and so on.

It is worked in 3 colors, a strong voice of a speckle to act as separating stripes to the accompanying 2 solid colors that are both light and warm to work as a canvas for the sections of classic alternating diamond style texture which add interest to both the finished product and the joy of this easy knit fast growing comfort knit of a Shawl. Choose a color trio combination that warms your knitty heart.

There is a point before working the final border garter section where you can work an extra set of stockinette and garter panels to extend the size if you wish to.
