My son asked me if I could make him a triangle shaped scarf ‘like the ones you wear mum, but not so girly…’ Ever up for a challenge I created this cosy design – a top down triangular shawl with glorious garter stitch stripes and practical ties, essential for keeping the scarf in place during play! The Gap is formed by using reverse stocking stitch on the central stitch. It means the back of the shawl looks almost as good as the front (anyone with kids will know that reversible clothing is always a good thing!)

For kids you can use practical, machine washable yarns in their favourite colours but a ‘grown up’ version in hand dyed gradient, speckled or semi-solid yarn would look fabulous too!

My son, by the way, says its cool. And that’s good enough for me!!

Skills needed

• k, p, m1l, m1r

Finished dimensions
wingspan including ties 170cm/67”
from centre top to point 38cm/15”

Gauge
18sts x 24rows = 10cm/4” stocking stitch, worked flat on 5mm needles.

Yarn Requirements
MC approx 160m/175yds DK yarn.
CC approx 120m/131yds Chunky yarn.

I have used Stylecraft Special DK and Stylecraft Alpaca Chunky yarns as they are good value, hard wearing and machine washable (essential qualities for kids clothing in my opinion!) but any DK and chunky/bulky (or DK doubled up) will work well.
