Zig-Zags have been a vital part of
my journey as a knitwear designer: the
pattern that started it all – the
Hitchhiker – has a shark tooth edging,
“Baltic Summer” is zig-Zagged through and
through,
“Match & Move” is one huge
Zag, and
“Rockin’ Rows” also features
lots of ziggy-Zaggy. Now comes the
time for a rectangular stole with lots of
zig-zags, and just because it’s so much
fun and looks awesome: on the bias. The
yarn is a super-soft, squishy organic
yarn named
“Lovely Merino Treat” that
makes the shawl extra voluminous and
warm. Use it for warmth on your shoulders on cool summer evenings and as an
extra warm scarf underneath your coat in
winter. If you like, you can use up all 400
grams of yarn by working the red contrast
stripe more often. The pattern includes
instructions on how to make the shawl
wider and longer (for which you will need
more yarn).
You will need
20 stitchmarkers to make this: 10 in
red and 10 in
blue. If you want to make it wider, you will need even more!
