I can’t wait to share this Triangle Shawl pattern with you! It’s been a long time coming, too! For this pattern, we used about 2.5 cakes of Lion Brand Mandala or Caron Cakes yarn however, you can also use Bernat PoP! or any other cake or self striping yarn to get the same affect. This would also look amazing with a simple single color or tweed yarn.
With classic simplicity and just a little textured pop, this triangle shawl is very pleasing to the eye, and works up fast! If you would like an ad-free PDF download of this shawl, head on over our Ravelry Store or LoveCrafts Store. Be sure to check out our other patterns on the site!
