Through the Loops!: New Release: Duane Park Triangle

New Release: Duane Park Triangle

Duane Park Triangle, an asymmetrical, triangular shawl knits up quickly in two colors of fingering weight yarn. Its casual elegance will make Duane Park Triangle your go-to shawl this fall.

The original design calls for Wanton Fibers Haughty Sock -- a delicious blend of merino and silk. I used a soft blue and grey combination for a subtle look. I liked that version so well I couldn't resist knitting a second using a more dramatic pairing -- Anzula's Squishy in Temperance and Karabella Breeze in Natural. Sadly the Karabella Breeze is discontinued, but you could easily substitute any natural fingering weight yarn.

The shawl starts with just a few stitch at one point, and increases to a delicate border of lace. The final edging is knit side to side onto live stitches.

As you can see, Sofie loves this one. She tells me she plans to wear the yellow/natural version all winter. I'm not sure I want to let her take it though. Pehaps I'll knit a third.
