This is the Downtime Shawl. It’s an easy triangle shawl knitting pattern that happens to be gorgeous to wear. It’s a side-to-side triangle shawl with maximum squish. All that cozy squishiness comes from alternating sections of slipped stitches and garter stitch.
Wear it to keep your neck warm or to add a handmade touch to your outfit. This shawl does both without even breaking a sweat. No one will believe it when you tell them how easy it was to knit!
My favorite part is how a cleverly placed stitch marker moves with your work, so you never have to keep track of what row you’re on. You can literally pick it up in your downtime and knit a little without wasting time.
This pattern + a variegated yarn that’s super soft = your new favorite shawl. Don’t blame me if all your friends ask for one!
