Tessellation Shawl

The Tessellation Shawl is inspired by the Leadenhall Building in the City of London, UK, designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. The structure of distinctive building contains multiple triangular shapes which inspire the shawl’s textured stitch pattern. Each individual triangle motif appears to combine with the next to form a tessellating grid pattern across the shawl. Each triangle shape is knitted in a combination of knit and purl stitches.

The shawl’s asymmetric shape is created by knitting a right-angled triangle on the bias. This shawl can be knitted with just one ball or skein of 4ply yarn, shown in grey (approximately 400m), making it an ideal travel project or gift for a special person. Instructions are also included for a DK weight shawl, shown in varigated shades and knitted with 2 x 100g skeins of DK yarn (approximately 450m) and an aran weight shawl, shown in pink and knitted with 3 x 100g skeins of aran yarn (approximately 480m).
