Are you ready to boldly knit where no one has knit before? Farpoint is not just a shawl—it’s a statement. A salute to Starfleet, an homage to adventure, and a declaration of your rank among the knitting elite.

This asymmetrical triangular shawl is knit on the bias, mirroring the forward momentum of a warp-speed starship. With bold color blocking inspired by the unmistakable Starfleet uniforms from Star Trek: The Next Generation, it’s designed to turn heads—whether at your next knitting circle or a convention full of fellow Trekkies.

What Makes Farpoint Special?

✨ Captain on Deck – Four bobbles stand proudly at the neckline, representing the rank of Captain. This is a piece of power, prestige, and command presence. You’re not knitting for the lower decks.

✨ Mosaic Knitting Magic – A breathtaking starfield of countless galaxies emerges through simple slip-stitch mosaic knitting—no stranded colorwork required!

✨ Intuitive Construction – Knit from side to side on the bias, shaping happens naturally as you progress, making this the perfect engaging-yet-meditative knit.

✨ Texture & Detail – The interplay of textures and colors makes this shawl stand out in any quadrant—whether worn as a statement piece at a convention or a cozy layer for everyday missions.
