Mind Over Miter

Mind Over Miter is a modular garter stitch shawl that uses decreases and a three needle bind off to create unusual mitered stripes. Amply sized, the shawl is large enough to be worn on its own or fit under a coat. The garter stitch makes for easy knitting and a cosy fabric. Four colors are used - two for the borders, an inner border color and an outer border color, and two for the interior stripes. If you have enjoyed my other modular shawls - Eden Prairie, High Street Shawl or Piet on Point - this one will be no exception.

To knit Mind Over Miter, you need basic knitting skills such as casting on, binding off, increasing and decreasing. All other techniques are clearly explained and I am always available for help.
