The “Iron Shirt” triangle shawl. Free Pattern plus photo tutorial inside.

Finally the pattern is ready. I added a little photo tutorial again so that really everyone is able to master this shawl.

As I said before is the “Iron Shirt” triangle made in a Scheepjes Whirl. The bigger version adds a Scheepjes Whirlette.

You can find your local Scheepjes Dealers or order your Scheepjes yarn at Wool Warehouse or at Jimmy Beans Wool.

You can find both versions of the pattern for free here on the blog. If you want to support my work and have the pattern as a ready-to-print PDF on RAVELRY HERE. Even if you do not want to buy the pattern it would make me very happy if you would click on the Ravelry link and give it a like there.

Thank you very much @sunshineyalex for testing the pattern and creating a wonderful version in SCHEEPJES Woolly Whirl Kiwi Drizzle.

Pattern Notes

• Read the whole pattern before you start.
• I crochet tight so you might check your gauge and might go down a hook size or get a bigger shawl which means you might need more yarn.
• The pattern is crocheted bottom-up.
• The pattern is based on the c2c technique.
• I wanted to get the most out of the yarn I used and so I added as much c2c rows as possible in the end. That gives the pattern a larger c2c part in the end, compared to the sides but that’s nothing you will notice when the triangle is worn. If you do not have enough yarn to crochet as many repeats in the end as I did it will not affect the pattern either.
