Can there ever be too many stripes? Pick three skeins in your favourite colours and stripe away to your heart’s content on this triangular garter stitch shawl. This breezy accessory begins at a point and is shaped gently as rows progress. The simple slip-stitch pattern breaks up the garter ground, blending the stripes together, while the colour change is designed to encourage you to do a few more rows. Then a few more. Because, truly, there are never enough stripes.
