Product Description
This pattern is a lovely triangular shawl that is started at the top center back and increased 4 stitches every other row thru the main body to make two isosceles triangles. The body stitches are then cast off as a lace edging is created along the bottom edge.
The body pattern is a 10 stitch, 10 row repeat with a variation along the bottom edge of the triangles. The lace edging pattern includes an optional beading for a added special touch if desired.
The coloring (which where I get the 'name' from) is done by blending six different colors ways of yarn (three are solids and three are varigated). The directions for the color changes are included in the pattern and can be followed exactly or used as a basis for your own color design.
The yarn used in the pictured shawl is all from Cherry Tree Hill but this shawl would also work well with any fingering weight or sock yarn combinations esp. the fingering weight yarns from Koigu or Claudia's Handpainted Yarns which also have lo

What is Being Made
The Amazing Earth Triangular Shawl is a large, elegant triangular wrap designed as a versatile accessory. This shawl features a distinctive two-triangle construction that creates a sophisticated silhouette suitable for layering or wearing as a statement piece. The finished shawl measures approximately 1800–2000 yards in total yardage, making it a substantial project that provides generous coverage.
Construction Method and Design
This shawl is constructed using a top-down approach, beginning at the center of the neck edge and expanding outward to create two isosceles triangles worked together as a single cohesive piece. The shaping is achieved through strategic increases placed at each edge and on both sides of a central middle stitch, allowing the triangular form to develop organically from the neckline downward. This geometric construction method ensures balanced, symmetrical growth throughout the project.
The pattern is divided into two distinct sections: the first section provides detailed knitting directions for the shawl's shaping and integrated lace pattern, while the second section offers guidance on color changes. The color-change instructions serve as guidelines only, allowing knitters creative flexibility to customize the shawl's appearance according to personal preference.
Stitches and Techniques
The Amazing Earth Triangular Shawl incorporates lace patterning throughout the body of the garment, creating an openwork aesthetic that is both delicate and visually striking. The lace pattern is presented in charted format, making it accessible to knitters who work from visual stitch diagrams. The shawl features a specialized edging that is worked separately after the main body is completed.
The edging construction involves a unique technique where stitches are cast off as the edging is worked, seamlessly integrating the border with the shawl body. This method creates a finished edge along the lace bottom edge that frames the entire perimeter of the triangular shawl.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
The Amazing Earth Triangular Shawl requires 1800–2000 yards of 4-ply sock yarn. The pictured shawl was created using sock yarn, which provides excellent stitch definition for displaying the lace pattern while offering the durability needed for a frequently-worn accessory. The 4-ply weight allows for intricate stitch work and creates a fabric with appropriate drape and structure for a triangular shawl design.
