It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Tamara Triangle in Papyrus (pattern link here).
There’s a sweet story behind today’s sweet design, so I’m going to let designer Rachel Brockman tell it in her own words.
“The Tamara Triangle is named after a dear friend of mine – one who inspired me to learn to knit (and one who has been pining for an oversized shawl).
“As such, this pattern goes out to all of the people in our lives who have inspired and encouraged the craft of knitting – whether it’s a family member, a friend, a local yarn shop, or yourself – I think we can all agree that it’s great to reflect and feel grateful for those influences. ”
The shawl is worked from the top down in cotton/silk Papyrus, beginning with a garter tab cast-on. Most of the shawl is worked in stockinette stitch, making it excellent for a knit night with friends.
The edging requires a bit more concentration, as the lace is worked on the right and wrong sides of the work. Fear not, though, the pattern is a repeat of just six rows. As a bonus, the lace is aesthetically reversible. If you prefer the look of reverse stockinette, flip it around.
We hope you have an excellent weekend, and find time to connect with old friends.
Happy crafting!
Gorgeous shawl. Thank You for sharing the pattern and your inspiration.
