Floe Shawl

DIGITAL KNITTING PATTERN available in English, German, and Japanese

a reversible triangle shawl with two different textures and yarn weights

Floe is a triangle shawl that features two different weights of yarns in two reversible textures and double-knit edges. The diamond pattern on one side and the bubble pattern on the reverse are reminiscent of the majestic landscape of ice floes, icebergs, and glaciers. The bands of fully reversible textural ribbing evoke the icy sea visible between the ice. Wrap it around your shoulders on chilly mornings and nights.

This design was originally published in Issue 26 of amirisu magazine in June 2023.
