WINDGATE
WINDGATE
This reversible triangular shawl is knitted starting from the widest side and the maximum number of stitches. Decreasing happens on every fourth row, making the rows become shorter and quicker as you work. Windgate is worked with two yarns held together. The pattern is a combination of garter stitch with columns of fisherman’s ribbing in between, which creates an accordion-like texture. It is easy to alter the size by adding or subtracting repeats. Lastly, tiny tassels are added to the cast-on edge.
Windgate was originally published in Laine’s “52 Weeks of Shawls”.
