For those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Patterns may introduce slightly more complex techniques and patterns, such as shaping, increasing, decreasing or working multiple colors or easy lace patterns. The yarn weight may vary, and the patterns might introduce working with double-pointed needles or circular needles. Patterns will help knitters gain confidence and experience with new techniques while still working within a manageable level of difficulty.
With a dash of whimsy and a pinch of practicality, Tamdou is a cozy asymmetrical triangular shawl that’s perfect for showing off bright colors. Latticed lace sections are interspersed with garter stitch stripes, and a splash of picot in a contrasting color binds off the edge. The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering creates a fabric that’s both sturdy and soft, with a lovely drape.
The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering (60% merino wool, 30% brown masham wool, 10% mohair; 300m (328yds) per 100g hank) in Hadrian’s Wall (A) - 1 hank, Scafell Pike (B) - 1 hank and Helvellyn (C) - 1 hank.
The photos show the shawl in the shades Hadrian’s Wall (A), Scafell Pike (B) and Helvellyn (C).
The pattern is written for one size measuring 280 cm or [110 in] in wingspan and 60 cm or [23.5 in] in depth.
Tamdou is designed to make the most of these 3 hanks with little left over. To make sure you don’t run out of yarn, please check your gauge. If you find you run close, you can simply leave out pattern repeats towards the end of the shawl—that won’t change its overall look.
