About this asymmetrical shawl pattern

This was the first inkling I ever had of this stitch pattern. It started out as something completely different, a band of textured stitches along an asymmetrical triangle shawl worked on the bias.

It ended up a fully-textured shawl that looks and feels amazing.

In this shawl, the elegant honeycomb pattern is used to create a crescent shape in an asymmetrical construction. Since the fabric is thick and cozy, it’s perfect for winter and for wearing as a shawl or as a triangle scarf.

In a precious yarn, it’s perfect for a special occasion, as it can be worn around the shoulders, pinned with a brooch, with the ends left to coil up into pretty swirls.

Here’s a full view of the Dipped in honey shawl.

The shawl is worked on the bias from one point and grows until you are satisfied with the size, longer and wider for a comfier shawl, shorter and lighter for a shawlette.

You can make the shawl as long as you want to by adding more rows, which are so easy to memorize.

You can also add fringe, tassels or even twisted fringe to personalize your shawl.

The sample shawl measures 140 cm or 55” across the top edge and 55 cm or 21.5” in depth.

It can be made larger by adding more pattern repeats of 2 rows.
