Ways to Wear a Triangle Shawl, Plus a Pattern to Try

October 13, 2015 by Sarah White 6 Comments

I recently published a pattern for a bulky triangle shawl, which is super fast and easy (really, I knit mine in three days) and a perfect gift knitting project.

I have a lot of triangular or similarly shaped shawls, and I know it can sometimes be difficult to figure out exactly how to wear them so you can both show off your knitting and keep warm.

This post from Llama Llama Ewe shares eight great ways to wear a triangular shawl, from the traditional wrap it around the shoulders and pin to kerchief style, turning it into a shrug or even wearing it like a scarf, among others.

Looking for more amazing shawl patterns? Check out these Knitting patterns we found on Etsy.

There are definitely some ideas here I’m going to try.

Thank you for sharing this! There are so many really beautiful shawl patterns available, but I have no idea how to wear them, so I don’t bother knitting them. But there are some wonderful ideas and instructions in this post. Thanks!

Use Your Sock Yarn Scraps to Knit a Colorful Scarf

Using your yarn stash is important to me throughout the year, but as I start to feel the end of the year coming on I get more excited about using things I already have in the house. Maybe that’s because I don’t want to go to a store in the thick of holiday shopping times, or I like the idea of having a little space in my stash when the new year rolls around.

It’s super satisfying to use up all the little odd balls you’ve made over the year (or years), and I have several stash busting blankets I work on when it’s cold and will maybe finish someday.

If you’d like to start a stash busting project that’s perfect for using up odd balls, check out the Soukish pattern from Neisha Abdulla. This pattern is made for fingering weight/sock yarn, and it’s worked in a tube with allover color work.

This is great for a couple of reasons. You don’t really have to weave in your ends when you can hide them in a tube (this is one time you might even get by just tying a knot when you change colors!) and you can change colors whenever you run out of yarn and it will look good.

Of course the pattern is made with blocks where the designer changed colors, but you can change yours more or less often as you need to make it work for your stash. You can use blank charts to design your own color combinations, or even your own stitch patterns if you like. You can also adjust the length of the scarf as needed or turn it into a cowl based on the amount of yarn you have.

This project looks like a lot of fun and would be a great thing to have on hand to stitch up and then to wear during the cold, gloomy months.

You can get a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
