Tipping the Scales Knitting Pattern - Infinite Twist

Tipping the Scales Knitting Pattern

Name: Tipping the Scales Knitting Pattern
Brand: Infinite Twist
Price: 5.0 USD
Availability: InStock

I love a good play-on-words, and this modular shawl offered up a gem of a pun.

In fashion, “tipping” refers to an article with an end or edging in a different color from the body. Made up of motifs inspired by fish scales with neutral tipping, what else could I call it but “Tipping the Scales”?

Worked outwards and up from the center back, each row of scales builds on the row before. Knit entirely in garter stitch, the curved shaping of the scales is formed by simple decreases. The crochet cast on technique is used to add motifs as the shawl grows.

The result is a stunning interplay of colors within a network of neutral edging, with a unique shape and a flattering fluted edge.
