Mia’s Mohair Luxe Triangle Shawl (ENG)

Beskrivning

Mohair triangle shawl knitting pattern

Construction:

The shawl is worked from the top down in an easy faux brioche stitch. This technique is much easier and quicker than traditional brioche knitting, yet creates lovely depth and texture without making the fabric too thick.

I chose to work two rows in each colour throughout the shawl. Combined with the textured stitch pattern, this creates a beautifully lively effect that almost resembles tiny houndstooth checks running through the stripes. The result is both elegant and contemporary.

Choose your own colours and yarn

The colour combination is entirely up to you. Choose two closely related shades for a soft, tonal look, combine contrasting colours for a bold graphic effect, or knit the entire shawl in one colour for a timeless, classic style.

For a touch of subtle sparkle, you can add a strand of LANGYARNS Paillettes every other row.

As an alternative, you can also use LANGYARNS Zen, which creates a softer, less fluffy fabric with a beautiful fleece-like texture.
