WP5 Spotlight: Tilt

The Tilt shawl comes from our very own Leila Raabe – an original member of our in-house design team at BT, Leila now runs operations at our Portland, Maine, location and is known for her thoughtful and detailed shawl designs (a few examples from our archive). As you can see from the photo above Tilt is a a play on geometry, with radiating diagonals and directional mesh. It's hard to see from the photos, but the center section contrasts diagonal stripes of stockinette and moss stitch between sets of eyelet "rays". The shawl rates high on our "knitability" scale. Knit circularly from the center out, the shawl is always worked from the RS (always a plus) and requires no additional knitted-on edging. The outer motif incorporates a subtly integrated lace motif before working the bind off, though Leila has also provided a mesh-only alternative for that section of the pattern, for those wanting to keep their 45 degree angles as an absolute. _________ Resources: Tilt is available as a PDF download at Brooklyn Tweed or Ravelry. The pattern is knit with Loft yarn, shown here in color Truffle Hunt.
