About this rounded triangle shawl pattern

The name of this asymmetrical rounded triangle shawl is inspired by Kyanite crystals, which come in various shades of blue, with elegant elongated crystals.

The distribution of the eyelets along the entire body of this elongated shawl also reminds of the inclusions in this beautiful gem.

The shawl grows from one point, with increases on one edge and decreases on the other edge.

The eyelets start and progress along one edge with decreases, while new columns are formed along the other edge.

The pattern repeat is easy and can be repeated as many times as you want for a small scarf or a large, cozy shawl.

You can use any weight of yarn, from lace to worsted, to get shawls of different thicknesses.

This pattern is part of a set of shawl patterns with a mineral theme.

Skill level

Intermediate, due to working with increases, decreases, eyelets and simple stitches.

Shape and measurements
