Lang PTO57-01 Triangular Shawl Wrap Knitting Pattern

Lang PTO57-01 Triangular Shawl: Knitted Lace Wrap

What Is Being Made

The Lang PTO57-01 is a triangular shawl designed as a versatile wrap garment. This knitted accessory measures approximately 33½ inches wide by 75 inches long (85 cm × 190 cm), making it a generous triangular shape suitable for draping across the shoulders or wearing as a lightweight wrap. The design is worked flat on straight needles, creating a seamless construction that flows from a narrow starting edge to the full width of the finished piece.

Techniques Used

Seamless flat knitting is the primary construction method for this shawl. The garment is worked in a single piece from one end to the other without seaming, which is characteristic of modern shawl design. Lace knitting forms the decorative foundation of the piece, incorporating strategic yarn overs and decreases to create openwork patterns that add visual interest and reduce weight in the finished fabric.

The pattern employs chart-based lace construction, where knitters follow a visual diagram showing right-side rows. Wrong-side rows are worked intuitively, purling stitches as they appear and purling all yarn overs to maintain pattern integrity. The structured repeat system—working rows 1–18, then repeating rows 19–34, followed by rows 35–50, repeating rows 51–66, and finally rows 67–84—creates a progressive pattern that builds the triangular shape while maintaining consistent lace motifs throughout.

Stitches Used

This shawl features a diamond lace pattern as its primary stitch pattern. The diamond lace is worked according to a detailed chart and incorporates fundamental lace stitches:

• Knit stitches (k1) form the structural base of the pattern
• Purl stitches (p1) create texture on wrong-side rows and contribute to pattern definition
• Yarn overs (yo) generate the openwork characteristic of lace knitting, creating decorative holes that define the diamond motif
• Knit two together (k2tog) decreases stitches on the right side, balancing yarn overs and shaping the lace pattern
• Purl two together (p2tog) decreases stitches on the wrong side
• Purl three together (p3tog) creates more dramatic decreases for pattern shaping
• Slip, slip, knit (sl2tog, knitwise, k1, psso) performs a centered double decrease that maintains pattern symmetry
• Make one purl (M1P) creates increases on purl-side rows

The 16-row and 10-stitch repeats form the foundation of the diamond lace pattern, allowing knitters to work the design systematically across the expanding width of the triangular shawl.

Materials

This pattern calls for LANGYARNS LINELLO, a yarn blend composed of linen, cotton, and viscose. The yarn provides a lightweight, breathable quality ideal for a shawl meant to drape elegantly. The pattern requires 300 grams of yarn, equivalent to 3 balls, available in two colorways: fuchsia-red-rose (1066.0065) or rose-lilac-orange (1066.0109).

ADDI knitting needles in size US 4 (3.5 mm) are specified for this project. These needles accommodate the fine gauge required for the diamond lace pattern while working with the Linello yarn. The gauge for the diamond lace pattern is worked on US 4 (3.5 mm) needles, though the specific stitch and row gauge measurement is referenced in the full pattern documentation.

The combination of linen, cotton, and viscose fibers creates a fabric with excellent drape and a subtle sheen, making the lace pattern visually striking while maintaining the structural integrity needed for a triangular wrap that will be worn and handled regularly.
