This striped shawl is a simple knit (really, really simple) and uses two skeins of sock yarn. It is a triangle shape with a gentle point and is knit entirely in garter stitch. The result is a supremely comfy shawl that will keep you warm and make you look cool all at once.

Note: the number of sts isn’t crucial - don’t beat yourself up counting them all super accurately.
Row 1: Knit.
Row 2: Knit to last 3 sts.
(Pat yourself on the back - the worst part is over.)
Attach Colour B.
Alternate colours every other row, bringing new colour over the top of the previous strand.

Row 5: Knit to 1 st before previous wrap, w+t.
Repeat Row 5 only. You should be wrapping every other st at each end.
Continue until 10 sts remain between wraps and WS is facing. Cut Colour A.
Next: Knit across all sts.
Note: Knit the wraps together with every other st for first half of row.
(Insert right needle into wrap and pick up; insert right needle into next st as per normal, knitting it together with the wrap; knit next st.)
Turn.
Next: Work 5 rows in garter.
Note: Knit into wraps on first row (the half that was “skipped” previously) - I didn’t find this step necessary because there are no colour changes on this side.
Next: BO kwise on WS row loosely or with larger needles. Weave in ends.
