This pattern comes with a creative assignment:

Don’t be scared! It’s optional. The assignment is based on the idea that you weave your internal thoughts and experiences into the stitches you work and that your finished shawl turns into a little journal or handwritten letter of sorts.

It’s true, this shawl totally looks like something goths would wear in the summer it’s also sort of inspired by just the need to have triangles all over your body (has anyone else had that need? No? Just me?) and needing something warm to wear while I ride my scooter. It’s knit flat, and in garter, so it’s squishy and warm and easy and comforting to knit. The only stitches you need to know are how to do a garter tab, and how to Make 1 Right and Make 1 Left and of course how to do the knit stitch. You will be doing the knit stitch literally hundreds of times, which is perfect for the assignment!

As with all my paid patterns if you are low on funds please feel free to contact me and I’ll gift the pattern to you! No questions asked.
