There’s nothing better than a great big squishy garter stitch shawl to wrap yourself up in on a cool day. This triangular shawl starts with just a few stitches and is worked sideways with a centred double decrease stitch creating a sideways ‘spine’ effect. The colour changes keep it interesting and the garter stitch knitting is simple and soothing. Choose any three colours of sock or fingering weight yarn to make it your own.
