Dip by Yigitcan / Pufido

Craft: Knitting

A dark or neutral colored skinny isosceles triangle dips into a more vibrant color at its narrow tip. These colors transition in the middle via stripes. An I-cord travels all around this garter triangle shawl.

Construction Notes:

Starting with the tip of the triangle, Dip expands with increases on both sides, making the triangle a skinny isosceles. It is worked flat in Garter stitch. Colors are transitioned with stripes in a rate of repeats in the middle. CC slowly fades into the MC color, then the triangle’s base is worked in MC only. Dip is trimmed with I-cord edges.
