Pattern notes
This garter stitch hap begins by casting on a few stitches at the centre back neck. Stitches are then increased at an even rate to form a large, elongated triangle. This pattern is designed specifically to allow the knitter to explore colour in their own way, following their own preferred stripe sequence, using 15 shades of Milarrochy Tweed. Suggestions for creative striping are included in the pattern.
