The Adjacent Shawl is a simple garter stitch shawl that uses three colors of fingering weight yarn. Choose high contrast colors for a bold, modern look or subtle colors for a soft look.
The focal point of this shawl is the asymmetry of the two colors at the bottom center. The juxtaposition of the colors brings visual interest to this otherwise simple layering piece.
Construction Details:
The Adjacent Shawl is worked seamlessly from the top center of the shawl towards the bottom edge, using increasing for shaping. The bottom edges are worked one half at a time, in a log-cabin style technique. While this shawl is worked using 200g total of fingering weight yarn, suggestions are given in the pattern for making the piece larger.
Skills Required:
Triangular Shawl Cast On
Elastic Bind Off
Knit
Closed Yarn Over increases (yo and knit through the back loop)
Picking up stitches for the second edging
Weaving in ends
Sizes: one size. 
Finished measurements: approximately 60”/153 cm span across top and 22”/56 cm depth along the center spine to the lower point.

Color A: 100 g or 350 yards
Color B: 50 g or 175 yards
Color C: 50 g or 175 yards
Sample made with Claudia Hand-Painted Yarns “Addiction” (100% pure merino superwash wool, 175 yds /100 g). Koigu “KPPPM” or Camp Color “CC Fingering” are great substitutes.
Gauge: 20 sts and 44 rows = 4”/10 cm, unblocked, in garter stitch and 16 sts and 40 rows = 4”/10 cm, blocked, in garter stitch using size needle to obtain gauge.
Needles: US 6 (4 mm) 40”/100 cm circular needle or size needed for gauge. Adjust needle size as necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
