Trekkie is available on Etsy for $4.95

Introducing Trekkie, the perfect knitting pattern for a slightly asymmetrical shawl that’s as easy to knit as it is stylish to wear. Starting with just three stitches, this shawl is worked flat in garter stitch, making it an ideal project for beginners. The instructions are clear and straightforward, requiring only basic knitting skills. One of the best features of Trekkie is the clever yarn-carrying technique that eliminates the need to weave in multiple ends. Both colors of yarn are carried along the edge of the shawl, nearly invisible, so you’ll only have a few ends to weave in at the end. Enjoy the simplicity and elegance of Trekkie as you create your own cozy creation.
