Bias Rhythm Shawl
The Bias Rhythm Shawl is an asymmetrical triangle shawl designed around movement. As the shawl grows on the bias, each stripe travels diagonally across the fabric, creating lines that shift, build, and carry the eye from one end to the other.
Worked in sport-weight yarn, the fabric has enough structure to show off the changing direction while still offering plenty of drape. Boldly contrasting colors will emphasize every moving line, while softer combinations create a more subtle flow across the shawl.
The result is a modern, easy-to-wear wrap that never feels static. Every stripe adds to its momentum, turning a repeating color sequence into a design that feels lively from the first row to the finished edge.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
- Movement in every stripe: The bias construction sends each band of color traveling diagonally across the shawl, creating a design that feels lively from every angle.
- Made for color play: Choose bold contrasts for graphic definition or blend neighboring shades for a softer, flowing effect.
- ALL of the drape: Sport-weight yarn gives the shawl beautiful movement without feeling too light or too heavy.
- Easy to wear: The asymmetrical triangle shape wraps, drapes, and styles effortlessly.
- A satisfying rhythm: The repeating stripe sequence keeps the project engaging while allowing you to settle into a comfortable stitching pace.
