Free pattern: YUKIKO Triangular Shawl

This is the perfect project for beginners, who want to try their hands on triangular shawls!

The shawl is worked completely in garter stitch, so that you can pay fully attention to the decreases and increases. Due to the big needle size of 8 mm / US 11, the shawl is a quick knit and the fluffy yarn Accessory Yarn MASAKI KOKEDAMA is a pleasure to work with. The chunky texture and the slim silhouette make the shawl a fashionable, but casual showpiece.

3 skeins are enough to snuggle down in a big shawl. 11 great colors, 5 heathered, to chose from.
