Well, there is always the Flower Basket shawl from Interweave Knitting 2004 Fall issue! I'll dig some more! I don't want a prize though:) hahaha, I don't need any more yarn!
ReplyDeleteThe Flower Basket Shawl by Evelyn Clark is the first pattern that popped into my mind as well.
ReplyDeleteHere is a website which sells this pattern for $6.00.

The very simplest is cast on 3, inc one at the end of every row till length desired. But lace is way more fun than that. Hmm. My shawls are top-down circulars, haven't thought about triangles.
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an email of patterns. :) I hope that you will find on that you like!
ReplyDeleteVicki....I just finished the Seafoam Shawl in One Skein Wonders edited by Judith Durant. It is baically the same as a dishcloth pattern but it is made in Rowan Kidsilk Haze and it turned out beautifully. I also beaded the edges as well, as the book suggested. The pattern used only one skein and it would work for most any yarn. Actually, this book has become my new favorite; it has helped me use up a ton of stash with really cute results!
ReplyDeleteThe Diamond Fantasy Scarf (or Shawl). The scarf is big enough to be a shawl and requires approx. 350 yds. Any shawl that can be made with a skein of sock yarn is up my alley! And it is beautiful and you knit the edging as you go. I'm pretty sure I paid $6.95 from www.siviaharding.com and I downloaded it, so no shipping cost and no wait! Loving it; it's a super knit!

ReplyDeleteI have a new pattern that I'll be posting for sale in about 7-10 days. It's triangular in shape and uses about 500 yards of yarn. So don't cast on yet! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteA great shawl pattern I just used with a smallish amount of yarn is described in Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's book, Knitting Rules. It is essentially an increasing triangular shawl which you can end when you run out of yarn. It has eyelets going along each side edge and down the center. Just cast on 3 and yarn over on each edge and on each side of the center marker on every right side row. Hope this helps--I really like mine!
