Loop - Under the Milky Way
A stunning pattern designed for us by Melanie Berg using Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering.
Available through both Melanie Berg (Mairlynd on Ravelry) as a PDF and through Loop as a single printed pattern.
Top Tip: If you are choosing other colours to knit this pattern in, you should always have the main colour as the darker colour and try to have two colours that have good contrast to them.
A broad band of slipped stitches twinkle at the edge of this cosy triangle shawl, making it the perfect companion for an evening under the stars. Under the Milky Way is knit from the top down, with a generous garter stitch body setting off the “stars” along the edge.
