Three Sisters (1) is a shawl! Or a scarf! More of a scarf, really. Because it is long.

It combines triangle shawl techniques (at this point, the garter tab is not only not a rectangle; it’s not even a tab—not even a really big tab) and simple stitches for an entertaining knitting project and a highly wearable finished piece.

Choose a good main color and 1-3 contrast colors, or scraps, if you want to go all in. This project is extremely good for those luxe, no-dyelot skeins: the MC is dialed in to take up a whole skein, and

As shown, this scarf uses Cascade Yarns Heritage Sock in Steel/5602 for the MC, and about 40 yards each of Malabrigo Yarn Sock in Ochre, Frank Ochre, and Chircas.
