A garter stitch variation creates extra texture in this project. The stitch pattern is completely reversible. It’s an entertaining knit that keeps you interested with an easy stitch pattern and shaping worked at the same time. The shawl is created sideways forming an asymmetrical triangle shape with a shallow point. It’s easy to wear and perfect for wrapping around your neck. Starting from one narrow point, the stitches increase on one edge and decrease on the opposite edge. The pattern showcases its versatility by including the details for projects worked in two different yarns.

The size varies according to the yarn chosen.
