Pipes
Introducing the **Pipes Shawl**: a beautifully designed bias knit garter stitch shawl that starts from the right tip and elegantly transitions to the left edge. Featuring two captivating main color sections that frame a uniquely striped “pipe” section, this shawl showcases ten decorative pipes that boast extensions linking them to the next pipe. These extensions are artfully crafted over four rows using the intarsia technique for seamless and vibrant color transitions. By carefully selecting your colors, you can draw attention to the pipes or highlight the spaces between them, allowing your unique personality and style to shine through in every stitch!
Gauge: Achieve 22 stitches and 42 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch after blocking and allowing the fabric to relax.
