Mika

Mika is an eyecatching unisex triangular shawl, knitted in simple garter stitch stripes and easy-to-knit slip stitches. You start with a small garter tab and work from top down with increases in RS and WS rows. So the shawl gets longer wings without being to long from top to the tip. You are alway knitting with just one color, you won’t have to use both colors at the same time.

Mika is a written pattern. Each row is described stitch by stitch.

Dimensions: 82 ½” x 15 ¾” (210 x 40 cm)

Suggested yarn: I used “Ask Hifa 2” (100% wool, yardage 345 yds/100 g), each one skein in MC and CC. But you can use any sock or fingering yarn in at least two colors. Feel free to add one or more colors e. g. for the 4-row garter stitch stripes.

Materials: • US 4 (3,5 mm) circular needles (or any size to obtain gauge) • 1 cable needle (CN)
