Julia Wilkens’ Ziggy shawl is worked in garter stitch, using short rows to form triangles. The triangles are lined by fringes of loop stitch that form a zigzag pattern on the garter surface. Julia wanted the main colour to serve as a blank canvas for the contrast-coloured fringe, so she chose a neutral beige shade. The fringe is worked by holding two yarns together. Feel free to use yarns from your stash — you only need small amounts.
