- Deux Côtés Yarn: Classic Elite Yarns Alpaca Sox, 3 skeins (see
by Lara Neel notes about this, 2 skeins might be plenty), 60%
alpaca, 20% merino wool, 20% nylon, 100
grams/450 yards. Color 1857 (mine was lot 8196)
Needles: Size 6
Gauge: 6 stitches to the inch in Deux Côtés stitch,
after blocking
Size: 65” wide and 29” deep, at the triangle’s
point. Sizing can be adjusted by working more or
fewer repeats.
This is a top-down triangular shawl made to be
lovely on both sides, hence the name, which
means “two sides” in French. My sister, in part,
inspired me to try for a shawl that looks great
either way. I made her a shawl several years ago.
I’m very pleased that she wears it almost
constantly. But, about half of the time she puts it
on, well, backwards. So, I wanted to make a
shawl that would work either way.
Do you ever get 90% through a project and start
to worry that you will run out of yarn? I bought
that third skein for insurance and ended up
needing it. The final piece weighed 212 grams,
which means that I used about 12% of the third
skein.
- I estimated how large the shawl would be after
blocking by working about 4 repeats of the
pattern, then wetting and pinning out the work
while it was still on the needles. Once it was dry, I
measured how long across the top of the work
was and used that to determine how many
repeats I would need for my desired width of
about 64 inches.
I repeated the chart until I had 40 squares across
the top of the shawl. Amazingly, the shawl
actually dressed out at 65 inches. My math was
correct, but I forgot to add in the width of the
shawl’s border.
- If I had stopped at 38 squares across, the shawl
might be a bit smaller than I wanted, but I feel
pretty safe in saying that I would not have
needed any of the third skein of yarn. So, you can
save a little cash if you make the shawl 38
squares across the top (I think it would end up
between 61 and 62 inches wide), because two
skeins would probably be enough yarn.
That said, I haven’t actually tried it, so maybe go
ahead and get that third skein, just to be safe.
Also, if your gauge is even slightly different from
mine, a third skein is a good idea, anyway, since
it might be needed for that reason.
- Only half of the stitches are represented on the
chart, so repeat the chart twice, placing a marker
between the first time and second time you work
the chart, to show the central point. For the
second and all even—numbered rows, purl the
purls and knit the knits.
A note about the yarn: I love, love, love it. It is
soft, warm and lovely. The alpaca content makes
it especially warm and luxurious. But, just like my
darling gray cat, it sheds a little. It might grow
out of it. I really don’t care if it sheds on me,
though. At least the shawl won’t puke on my
shoes when I’m sleeping.
