One yarn, two skeins, three directions. A shawl designed for two skeins of a busy variegated yarn.

Because some busy variegated yarns look best in garter stitch. And garter stitch is easy and soothing. But garter stitch one way is too easy. This shawl is worked in three different directions for a fun interplay of striping and colours.

The perfect everyday shawl? Fun but not too taxing to knit or wear.

Carefully placed slipped stitches add definition and detail. Although it is just garter stitch, the pattern uses an applied edging technique, a variety of increases, and picking up stitches.

Piece is adjustable, but you do definitely need two skeins of fingering weight.
