Pipes

Pipes is a bias knit garter stitch shawl that starts at the right tip and ends at the left edge. Two main color sections frame a striped “pipe” section. Ten of the pipes have extensions that connect them to the next pipe. Extensions are worked over four rows using intarsia for color changes. Careful color selection can highlight the pipes or the spaces between the pipes. This is where you can let your personality shine!
