As we mentioned in yesterday’s post, besides the gorgeous sweater designed by Hannah Fettig in Organik, both Kate and Courtney have designs in the 5th Anniversary issue of Knitscene that feature the Fibre Company yarns.

Kate’s design, the Oscilloscope Shawl, named after the sawtooth waves made by Oscilloscopes, went through many permutations in its young life. Ultimately, she wanted to highlight the simple beauty of pairing diagonal increases and decreases on a garter stitch background for the body of the shawl and is very pleased with the final result!

Constructed form end-to-end, you cast on a small number of stitches, then increase to the center, and decrease down again to the other end. As you ‘turn’ for the center point, the direction of the garter lace changes as well.
An attached i-cord on the top edge and diagonals provides a smooth and finished look.
