Craft: Knitting
The Flowing Tides Shawl celebrates the magic of color transition through thoughtful construction and varied textures. This asymmetrical triangle is worked sideways with increases at the end of right-side rows, creating an organic shape that mirrors nature’s flowing forms. Three distinct texture bands showcase different aspects of the design: slip stitch colorwork using Transitions paired with a solid shade of Cumbria Fingering, elegant cable work, and textured patterns, all unified by garter stitch borders and finished edges.
Knitted in The Fibre Co.’s Transitions, this color-shifting sport weight yarn transforms your knitting experience with its gentle gradations and luxurious feel. The alpaca and Peruvian Highland wool blend creates a subtle halo that softens stitch definition beautifully, while the yarn’s natural color evolution provides visual interest without complex color management. Each texture band reveals different aspects of the shifting hues, creating a harmonious piece that captures the ephemeral beauty of dawn breaking over mountains or dusk settling on water. Wrap yourself in the poetry of constant, gentle change.

Construction Notes
The Flowing Tides Shawl is worked from the narrow tip upward, increasing at the end of every right-side row to form an asymmetrical triangle. Borders are worked in garter stitch with a slipped stitch edge. The shawl features three different textures each with their own chart and written instructions: a slipped stitch pattern using two colors, a cable pattern and a texture pattern. It is finished with a simple garter stitch border.
Shawl edges and color management: The first stitch of every row will be slipped. When changing color on a right-side row, slip the stitch purlwise with the previous color held in front, bring the yarn to the wrong side, then drop the old color and pick up the next color to start working from the second stitch of the row. Every right-side row where you do not change color, carry the color not in use upwards by loosely twisting its strand with the working color after the first slipped stitch.
