- Hi, I'm Marly Bird.

3
00:00:02,342 --> 00:00:05,206
I'm a knitting and crochet designer and teacher.

4
00:00:05,206 --> 00:00:07,153
I also host The Yarn Thing podcast

5
00:00:07,153 --> 00:00:08,955
and the Marly Bird YouTube channel.

6
00:00:08,955 --> 00:00:11,362
I love making shawls, and like many of you,

7
00:00:11,362 --> 00:00:15,064
I began my crochet career making crochet motifs.

8
00:00:15,064 --> 00:00:16,484
If you think of a crochet motif,

9
00:00:16,484 --> 00:00:19,411
cut on the diagonal, you get a triangle, right?

10
00:00:19,411 --> 00:00:20,754
Well, that's what we're gonna do today.

11
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:23,272
I'm gonna show you how working some simple increases

12
00:00:23,272 --> 00:00:25,730
on the wingspan and down the center of the shawl

13
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:29,097
can get you a really great top-down triangular shawl.

14
00:00:29,097 --> 00:00:31,109
I punch it up with a really great trim

15
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:33,731
that adds a lot of texture and an eclectic look

16
00:00:33,731 --> 00:00:34,970
to a simple shape.

00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:37,554
