Hipster

Welcome Hipster to the shop! We mentioned back in November that we had plans to work up the Hipster Shawl using Magpie Swanky DK, a lovely, silky blend of merino, cashmere and nylon with beautiful drape and sheen (250 yards/skein). Well, we're thrilled with how it turned out, and we especially love its generous size; after blocking, ours is 85” x 27”. Worked from the center top down, stitches are increased at each side on every other row to give it its characteristic crescent shape.

Our sample is knitted in Ghost Town.
