Knit your own Triangles within Triangles Shawl using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

Triangles within Triangles Shawl is a simple, yet sophisticated, triangular shawl that starts with just a few stitches at the center neckline, and increases in pattern.

Since the knitting is stockinette stitch-based, this design uses a rate of increase that is slightly more than the typical "every other row" rate so that the resulting shape retains a pleasing width-to-length ratio.

The lacy and solid triangle motifs are set within the larger shawl triangle panels. A coordinating edging is used to bind off, as well as create a pretty triangle-shaped finish to the outer edge of the shawl.

For a 36" deep by 72" wide shawl in fingering weight yarn, plan for approximately 1200 yards at 4½ stitches/inch over pattern on size US 7 / 4.5 mm suggested. Easily adjusts to other sizes by knitting to length desired, and other weights of yarn with corresponding adjustment in needle size and yardage.

Pattern contains both the original charted instructions and a supplement with written instructions corresponding to the charts.
