This triangular shawl pattern uses linen stitch (also known as tweed or moss stitch), which is a perfect match for this yarn because it has a similar look to fish scales.
The structure of Arria is simple but effective and easy to memorise. It uses the intarsia crochet technique. With just three balls of yarn on the go throughout, it is a good beginner intarsia project. It is an easy project to introduce you to this technique.
Go wild with variegated yarns or keep it simple with semi-solids – the possibilities are endless. You could even go scrap-busting for the intarsia triangles…
