Liy

slip-stitch colorwork shawl made up of 3 modular triangles

This is part of the Triyang Collection, which includes three other shawl patterns using the same construction, plus customizing instructions for mixing and matching the sections from different patterns with each other!

• modular construction in 3 parts, no picked up stitches
• size is determined by yarn weight, ranging DK to bulky
• sample is in worsted weight, detailed size info is included
• cast on 3 stitches / bind off none at all
• 3 narrow triangles combine to make a long, asymmetrical triangle shape
• different kinds of colorwork patterns in each section
• all patterns use only 1 color per row, with slipped and twisted stitches
• all parts are written and charted
• written rows and charts are on separate pages to minimize printing requirements

You'll Need

• approx 450-700 yards / 410-640 meters DK-bulky weight yarn, in two solid or semi-solid colorways (approx half & half in each color) (approx 500 yards worsted; approx 600 yards aran; approx 700 yards bulky)

Liy is sized based on gauge — it is pictured in worsted weight, making a medium sized piece. Use a heavier weight to make a larger version. (Detailed sizing info is in pattern preview.)

All stitch patterns are made with slipped stitches and twisted stitches (mini-cables); only 1 yarn is used at a time.

All stitch patterns are charted and written; the charts and written rows are on their own pages so that if you want to work from only the charts, you can skip printing 5 pages of written rows, and if you want to use only the written, you can skip printing 5 pages of charts.

The pattern also includes a schematic, construction/technique notes, close-up photos of the stitch patterns.
