“Pleat Up!” is a triangular shawl knit from side to side on the bias in one piece. It’s simple, classic and clean look is broken up by textural elements while shape-changing worked-in pleats account for the slight curvature at the nape side, making this shawl wrap nicely around the shoulders. Especially cozy when knit from a very soft yarn such as the one used for the pictured sample shawl!

“Pleat up!” was designed in collaboration with Malabrigo Yarn as a part of Malabrigo Quickies.

Materials:

  • Malabrigo Rastita (100% Merino) 100g/ 310 yards (283 meters), 2 skeins or approx. 500 yards [457 meters] of any DK weight yarn that knits up to gauge.
  • US 6 4 mm 40” (100 cm) circular needle
  • Stitch marker
  • Tapestry needle

One size fits all
Finished measurements: length (outer edge): 63” [160 cm]; depth: 30” [76 cm]

Gauge:
20 sts and 28 rows per 4” [10 cm] in stockinette stitch after blocking – save time by checking the gauge ♥

Gauge is not essential; however, with a different gauge, actual finished measurements and total yardage will change.
