This pattern was designed for Leslie Samson’s Angora Blizzard yarn in 2007 for the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival. She wanted something to give away with her yarn.

This was a fast knit, designed for my daughter who requested a slouch hat in a “tweedy grey” bulky yarn. She said she knew I needed to improve my fuzz to person ration and so wanted me to spin up some yarn and knit it for her. This was before she moved to Arizona, of course.

It can be worn with either side out, so you can get two looks for the work of one!

This original triangular shawl pattern is knit in a stripe pattern that will enhance pretty much any type of hand dyed yarn. It is interesting enough to keep most people happy but is not too complicated nor does it incorporate a lot of intricate stitches. It knits up fairly quickly so satisfaction is not delayed.

This yarn is an 80% Angora 20% superwash merino yarn and is available through www.IAGARB.org or from Leslie Samson and her sources. I also have a small stash left as of Feb 2010.
