Hitchhiker
Designed by Martina Behm
Garter stitch. It's simple, it's warm and squishy, stretchy and reversible and it makes any variegated, hand-dyed sock yarn really shine. So here's Hitchhiker: It is a narrow, slightly asymmetrically shaped triangular shawlette that can be wrapped around the neck several times. The ends are long enough to tie it with a knot. One of the short sides of the triangle features a saw-tooth border that evolves naturally during the knitting and gives the shawl its unusual shape. Because the knitting starts at one end, you can stop anytime, bind off and end up with a useful neckerchief, shawlette or shawl. A perfect project to relax in between more complicated ones, also very suitable for beginners and young knitters.
Sample Yarn and Colorway:
Changing your yarn will change the finished size of your shawl.
