See for yourself why knitting mitres is all the rage when you make this exciting throw that can also be worn as a shawl. Simple decreases create the squares. The patchwork technique of adding squares as you go is done by picking up stitches along one side of the square to begin the next one. Watching the beautiful Wool-ease color combinations unfold makes this project hard to put down. The result is a unique shawl, which, when you fold the center corners back, has a built-in collar.
