Trillian Shawlette

Yarns By Design is a participant of Ravelry's In-Store Pattern Sales Program.

How it works:
YBD can search for patterns available through this service and YBD sells them to customers through the boutique. The pattern will be printed, emailed or saved to the customer’s Ravelry library.

Featuring:
Trillian Shawlette by Martina Behm

"Trillian“ is the leading female character in Douglas Adams‘ great book „The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy“. She‘s a mathematician and astrophysicist, and if she took up knitting, no doubt she would enjoy the unusual construction of this shawlette: You start knitting at one corner, adding wider and wider rows, thereby forming a long, narrow, slightly asymmetrical triangle. Just perfect for wrapping around your neck several times or hug your shoulders with a little warmth. Due to the shallow-but-long shape, you will get something useful to wear, no matter how much yarn you have. The garter-stitch center is perfect for showcasing a beautiful hand-dyed yarn, because it makes the colors flow into each other naturally. The fishnet-lace border on both short sides of the triangle adds just a bit of femininity without being frilly. Manageable even for beginning knitters.

Yarns By Design suggests knitting this shawlette with Schoppel's 6 Karat Cat Print. The lustrous blend of virgin superwash wool and silk is a glimmering hand-painted gem by the color geniuses at Schoppel. Perfect for delicate shawls, lacework and more, this luxurious yarn is a treat. Yarns By Design has all seven of the beautiful colors to choose from.
