If you purchase 5 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free.

La Toupie is French for a spinning top. This whimsical design is a doubleknit triangular shawl, with spinning tops twirling out from the centre of the shawl.

The La Toupie shawl is a double-knit triangular shawl. The pattern allows you to adjust the size of the shawl.

2 x 430 yds (100 g) of fingering weight yarn in contrasting colours will give you a shawl with a width of 52 in (135 cm), and a height of 26 in (66.5 cm)
2 x 500 yds (100 g) of light fingering weight yarn in contrasting colours will give you a shawl with a width of 55 in (140 cm), and a height of 27.5 in (70 cm)
More yarn will of course allow you to make the shawl even larger.

The red and gold sample is knit in Merino Silk 4 ply Sock from indigodragonfly, and the blue and silver sample is knit in Milky Way from Anzula.

The pattern includes detailed instructions on double-knitting. So it is an excellent way to learn a new technique. If you’re already a double-knitting expert, just enjoy the shawl.

Since it is double-knit, the shawl is fully reversible.
