Mind Over Miter
Introducing the **Mind Over Miter** shawl – a stunning modular garter stitch design that blends artistry with practicality. This versatile shawl features unique mitered stripes created through careful decreases and a three-needle bind-off technique. Generously sized, the **Mind Over Miter** shawl can be comfortably worn on its own or seamlessly layered under a coat for added warmth. The cozy garter stitch texture not only makes for a delightful knitting experience, but it also results in a soft and inviting fabric that you'll want to wear all season long.
This beautiful shawl utilizes **four distinct colors**: two for the borders, one for the inner border, and another for the outer border. Additionally, two contrasting colors are chosen for the eye-catching interior stripes.
