Three Sisters II
See the first design in the series here.
A simple but engaging garter-stitch shawl; you can knit this with yarn weights from lace to sportweight (and maybe beyond), play a bit loose with the gauge, and knit it to any
finished size you want.
Blocking also gives you options here: block it to its more relaxed, natural dimensions, or make it spiky and curvy by pinning out the points for a more extravagant effect.
This construction works well with a gradient or self-striping yarn! To get an effect like the sample without using handspun, substitute Noro Silk Garden Sock.
Materials:
- 400+ yards of sportweight yarn (should work with sockweight too)
- 1 24-48” circular needles in US4-5/3.5-3.75mm, or size needed for gauge
- tapestry needle for weaving in ends
- removable stitch markers
- optional: buttons sized to fit eyelets knit with the yarn you’re using
Gauge:
Gauge is 18 sts and 28 rows over 4”/10cm of garter stitch, worked flat and blocked firmly. Please be sure to check your gauge, or to not check your gauge and just choose a gauge that works for your project, since this should work well with a variety of yarns.
Measurements:
Blocked squarely, the sample measures 18”/45cm deep at the center point and about 45”/1.11m.
Blocked in a more spiky way, the sample measures 16”/41cm deep by 50”/1.27m across the longest side.
Final measurements mayl vary quite a bit on a fully-customizable shawl like this one.
