The Strook

The Strook Shawl is an easy-to-knit pattern. The shawl is knit sideways and has the shape of a stretched out triangle.

You can easily customise the size of your shawl based on how much yarn you have available. If you’re running low on your MC or want to make the most of a special CC, simply adjust the number of pattern repeats. This flexibility makes it a great project for using up leftover skeins or working with precious hand-dyed yarns. Whether you have a little or a lot, you can shape the shawl to suit your yardage and preferences.

The scarf can be easily modified to any desired size.

Two samples are shown in this pattern's pictures: one in size small (S) which has a wingspan (cast-on edge to bind-off edge) after blocking of 71”/181cm with a depth (at the centre of the shawl - this is the width at the widest point of the shawl) of 16.5”/42cm. The large (L) sample has a wingspan of approximately 96”/242cm with a depth of 22”/55cm.
