Triangulum makes effective use of its short-row colorwork motif as a statement piece. Its modular construction, with the striking border worked first and the stitches for the body picked up from there, allows for modification to suit different sizes and yarn weights.

PATTERN NOTES
Adjusting the size of this modular shawl is managed by adding or removing repeats of Rows 1 to 46 of the motif section. To ensure the fabric remains balanced and to maintain pattern continuity, always end after a Row 35 before working the final border to finish. When picking up for the panel edge and the body, adjust the number of stitches you pick up by 12 for each extra motif.

Pattern available April 16, 2024 in the book Short-Row Colorwork Knitting.
