Risoni Triangle by Janet Avila
This makes an asymmetrical triangle that wraps nicely around your neck. The simple stockinet
stitch is the perfect backdrop for the random slubby nature of the yarn.
Yarn:
2 skeins Risoni (153 yards/25 grams silk)
Needles:
US # 6
You can start on straight needles but eventually
you will need to move to a circular needle
because you will have so many stitches.
Finished Measurements:
57” from end to end after blocking.
Notes
This scarf was inspired by Theresa Gaffey’s Miss
McKenna’s Shawl. With the knit side facing you,
the stitches on your needle form the left side of
the bottom triangle when worn. This sets
everything on the bias, which adds to its lovely
drape.
At random points throughout the project., we
added a string of knit stitches on the purl side.
Honestly, this was first done as a mistake and
repeated to create a design element. We like the
look, but if doing something randomly makes you
nervous, you can easily skip this.
This project uses two skeins of Risoni. To join the second skein, we suggest using the Russian
Join. (Knit Purl Hunter has a great video of this technique on YouTube.) Otherwise join your new
yarn at the edge of the scarf and weave your ends in later. You can easily make a bigger scarf by
adding a third or fourth skein of yarn.
Instructions
Cast on 3 stitches.
K1, YO, knit the rest of the row.
Purl
Repeat these two rows until you have about 4 yards of silk left.
Stop at the end of a knit row.
Now use Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off to bind off in purl stitch: YO, P, pass the
YO over the purl stitch, *YO, P, pass the YO over the purl stitch and then pass the first
purl stitch over the next purl stitch. Repeat from * until all stitches are bound off.
Weave in your ends, block your scarf and enjoy!
