The Road Trip Shawl is a great travel companion! Long rows of garter in speckled yarn offset simple but delightful lace sections that mimic migrating butterflies, rows of crop fields and wildflowers growing in open fields. Along the way you’ll knit in rhythmic garter stitch much like the endless miles of highway traveled and every now and then you’ll pause for little picot “pitstops”. There are relaxing stitches and stitches to keep your interest piqued. Knit in dk weight yarn this shawl is generously sized and will keep you cozy no matter how far you wander from home. Happy travels and happy knitting!
