My free pattern, the Oaklet Shawl, pattern has been so popular that it inspired me to make a guide to making top-down triangular shawls. They have become one of my favourite types of knitting projects; I mean, who doesn’t love a knitting pattern that starts with “cast on 3 stitches”?

Due to the popularity of Oaklet and the enthusiastic questions I’ve received about how to knit top-down triangular shawls, I made a 16 page booklet that walks you through all of the ins and outs of triangular shawls.

In the booklet, you’ll receive 2 patterns

• Garter Stitch Ridge Shawl
• New Oaklet Shawl

The New Oaklet Shawl pattern in the booklet is a larger and slightly more sophisticated cousin of the original Oaklet.

You’ll also receive illustrated step by step instructions:

• starting with or without a garter stitch tab
• how to make a garter stitch tab provisional cast on
• how to read a knitting chart
• shaping a top down shawl
• working a stretchy bind off
• how to calculate yarn requirements
• charts to designing your own shawl
• how to wet blocking

The finished New Oaklet Shawl measures 46” wide by 23” tall (117 cm by 58 cm)
