This is a PDF knitting pattern.
This architecturally inspired wrap begins in the center with four triangular sections that modularly join together to form a square. Each section is seamlessly picked up from the previous section. Once the central square foundation is created, stitches are picked up along two corners of the shape for the wingspan spires. You can customize the final length of your shawl by binding off early or knit more repeats for a long luxurious wrap.
I featured three skeins of West Wool Bicycle as the main color with six Spincycle colorways for a fascinating striped knitting experience. Customize the contrast however you like by choosing similar types of self-striping yarns or dive into your stash and make those colors pop! -

Spincycle is listed as a sport weight yarn, but you can use it mixed with fingering weight yarn for this design. It creates a beautiful shawl fabric with crisp stitches.Yardage

CC - 1100yds / 1006m or 6 skeins of Spincycle Yarns Dyed in the Wool (50g skeins)If you are using different CC yarns and they are 100g skeins or balls, then you will need only 3 skeins or balls (100g each) for your CC yardage.
SECTIONS 1 – 4 require approximately 10-15g of CC for each section in the center of the shawl. SECTION 1 – 4 require approximately 55g of MC total.
