If you have been watching the Outlander TV series, in season four, Claire wore a very distinctive crossover triangle shawl.

A free version of this pattern can be found on my blog here.

You can also shop the pattern here.

• DESCRIPTION

Inspired by Claire Fraser wearing beautiful knitted pieces, the triangle wrap is knit by working from the top down.

The shawl will grow in size through a series of increases that occur through yarn overs.

This also gives a nice open stitch design down the spine of the shawl and along the edges.

Needles

8mm (US 11) knitting needles – I used my interchangeable circular needles on a 40″/100cm cable as there were many stitches – I did not join in the round to knit.
