Although purple is my favorite color, I am definitely lacking in the “purple department” in my wardrobe. So, I finally decided it was time to knit up something in my favorite color. I chose this lovely purple palette and thus, Purple Trio was the result. Pick your favorite “trio” of colors, either in the same color palette or a variety of palettes, and create your own “Trio”!

The shawl is an asymmetric triangle consisting of a combination of slipped stitches, garter stitch and a simple lace mesh. Only one color is worked per row. There are two “self-finishing” borders that are worked as part of the shawl.

Yarn: Three skeins of fingering weight yarn, 400 yards/skein for a total of 1,200 yards.

Shown In: Purple shawl: One skein each of Miss Babs’ Yummy 2-Ply in Shining City, Plum and Fig.

Teal and gold shawl: One skein each of Malabrigo Mechita in Teal Feather, Diana and Glitter.

Finished Size: Approximately 75” along neckline by 30” at deepest point
