Knitting Lace Triangles is a 70-page booklet
that describes how to use any or all of four simple lace patterns to design triangular lace shawls.
They can be knit in a variety of yarns and sizes, and the Appendix has a Size
and Yardage Chart that lists 12 different yarn amounts and sizes for four weights of yarn. The shawls can be knit in stockinette or garter stitch lace, and beads can be added at the scalloped edge.
Lace triangles are versatile accessories and can be knit in a variety of fibers and colors, as well as tweed, heather, and glitzy yarns. Also, they look great in both handspun and commercial yarns. Smaller sizes can be worn as scarves with a jeans jacket or business ensemble. Larger sizes make elegant shawls for formal functions or cozy wraps at home.
Published by Fiber Trends, Knitting Lace Triangles is available at yarn shops. It also can be ordered through two Seattle yarn shops Acorn Street Yarns and Fiber Gallery.
Heartland Lace Shawl
At the beginning of 2007, I was honored to win the first contest sponsored by
Wild Fibers Magazine and Buffalo Gold with my Heartland Lace Shawl, and this design remains one of my favorites.
This triangular stockinette stitch lace shawl celebrates the return of the majestic animals that were at the heart of early life in North America and features Bison Tracks Lace that ends with a River of Life Edging. The Bison Tracks Lace depicts the buffalo's heart-shaped hoof prints alternating with small diamonds that point to the four directions on earth.
The sample shawl was knit with approximately 550 yds (503m) of dk weight buffalo yarn (13 wpi) and measures 32 x 64" (81 x 162cm). However, because it is knit from the top down and the edging can be started at the end of any 20-row lace repeat, this shawl can be made with a variety of weights of yarn in a variety of sizes.
This pattern was published in the Winter 2007 issue of Wild Fibers Magazine. For my free downloadable pdf pattern, click here.
Buffalo Gold also has kits for this design with their wonderful yarn.
Swallowtail Lace Shawl
Originally published in the Fall 2006 issue of Interweave Knits, the Swallowtail Lace Shawl was a finalist in the Best of Interweave Knits Readers' Choice Awards contest in the spring of 2008. For my free downloadable pdf pattern with written instructions and charts, click here.
