Thames is an asymmetric triangle shawl. The textured body has vertical twisted stitch columns on reverse stockinette stitch. They create vertical stripes and add texture and rhythm. On the reverse side, you’ll have neat stockinette stitch with vertical lines of twisted purl stitches.

The delicate and crisp lace border adds an airiness to the shawl. You work the lace on garter stitch, so it has no purl stitches and looks good on both sides.

Thames is an independent add-on to the Mix & Match – Rivers collection.

You don’t need the Mix & Match – Rivers collection to knit Thames, but if you have the collection, you’ve got loads of options to create your own shawl adventure.

With Thames and the 3 patterns in the Mix & Match – Rivers collection, you can create 16 different shawls!

I knitted my Thames with two skeins of Malabrigo Sock (100% merino; 402 m / 440 yds per 100 g) in Polar Morn. If you want to substitute, you’ll need about 664 m / 726 yds of fingering weight yarn.

P.S. Also wearing Seamwork Akita shirt. Truly a wardobe staple and a great beginner sewing project. Highly recommended!
