Crosshatch is an asymmetrical triangular shawl that pays homage to the beautiful lines and texture found in nature. A gentle, undulating cable mimics the movement of a small stream running through the forest. Beside it, a bed of moss stitch is transformed by striping two coordinating colors. Rachel Brockman wanted Crosshatch to be simple and soothing to knit. It incorporates knitting on the bias, reversible cables, intarsia, stripes and knit-purl textures – all compiled in an uncomplicated manner.
