Product Details

This asymmetrical sideways triangle shawl’s name comes from its shape. Pembetatu is the Swahili word for triangle. It features a textured oval motif cut into garter stitch. The juxtaposition of motifs and texture is one of the things I love about Swahili woodwork.

This pattern is both fully written and charted so that the knitter may work from either set of directions as preferred.

Yarn Requirements: Approximately 1320 yards / 1206 meters fingering weight superwash merino.

Techniques used: Knitting, purling, increasing.
