One Love One sock blank or one skein, one hundred grams and a one row increase repeat! The word one kept popping up all over the place when I was thinking about a name for this crescent-shaped shawlette. It is knit in a Blue Love single strand sock blank from Gale’s Art. So I combined the two and One Love it is! We all have a 100gram sock blank or skein of fingering weight yarn sitting in our stash. Often times we are not sure what to do with it besides knitting a pair of socks. Well, I have the perfect solution with the One Love Shawlette. As the name implies this shawl takes one 100gram sock blank or sock skein of yarn. The shawlette couldn’t be any easier to knit. You can either follow your yarn striping as a guide or you can use the specific instructions provided to make a shawl like mine in any type of fingering weight yarn. I’ll share how to do both versions in the pattern. Finished size: 15-inches in depth, 60-inch wingspan; finished shawlette weighs 99 grams. Shape: Long-shallow crescent-shape Yarn: Gale’s Art Secret Sock Blank (single strand), 75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon; 463 yards/100 grams. The sample is made in the Blue Love colorway. Sock blanks are individual works of art and may be the same colorway but striping will vary due to the artistic nature of dyeing. Yarn Note: Any 100 gram sock blank or fingering/sock weight skein will work fine. Also, any striped, variegated or tonal yarn will all work great! If you have more or less yardage you can stop or keep going at any point. A note on using a sock blank: I knit the shawlette straight from the Gale’s Art Secret Sock Blank, unraveling as I worked. The yarn was very kinky while I was knitting, but it smoothed out significantly with a good soak and block when it was finished. However, some of the unevenness does remain in the final shawl. I like this appearance and think it makes for a fun watercolor-like fabric. If you don’t want this look you could unravel the yarn before knitting and make a skein (with lots of ties) to soak and straighten out before starting the shawl. After the smooth yarn is dried wind it into a cake or ball and then begin knitting the shawl. It’s up to you! Needles: US size 6/4mm, 32-inch circular needle or size to obtain gauge Gauge: 5.5 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch Materials: Yarn needle Stitch markers Optional: Scale to weigh yarn in grams for starting the final edging. If you don’t have a scale you can just estimate. In the pattern I have provided two options of choice in the pattern. Option 1: Let the yarn be your guide. Gale’s Art Sock Blanks, like the one I used in the sample, are often striped. Instead of following or counting rows, I just changed sections in order every time the color changed until I had a certain amount of yarn remaining to finish off the final border (all details are included in the pattern). Option 2: Row-by-Row Pattern. I wrote out exactly how many rows/repeats I did of each section, including a row checklist for your counting convenience, if you’d like a more detailed pattern to follow. Every aspect is written out in full-detail, step-by-step. Enjoy! ~ susan

Pattern available in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Swedish and Dutch. Anleitung auch auf Deutsch! Find the pattern in my e-book “The Hitchhiker Collection” Garter stitch. It‘s simple, its warm and squishy, stretchy and reversible and it makes any variegated, hand-dyed sockyarn really shine. So here‘s Hitchhiker: It is a narrow, slightly asymmetrically shaped triangular shawlette that can be wrapped around the neck several times. The ends are long enough to tie it with a knot. One of the short sides of the triangle features a saw-tooth border that evolves naturally during the knitting and gives the shawl its unusual shape. Because the knitting starts at one end, you can stop anytime, bind off and end up with a useful neckerchief, shawlette or shawl. A perfect project to relax in between more complicated ones, also very suitable for beginners and young knitters. The name? Well, if you use a 150 g skein of Wollmeise 100% Merino for this, you can make how many teeth? That‘s right, 42. The answer to the question about the universe and everything, according to Douglas Adams‘ wonderful book „The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy“. So don‘t forget your towel, and happy knitting!

Darum darf ich vorstellen: Hitchhiker. Ein langes flaches Dreieckstuch, das man mehrmals um den Hals wickeln und mit einem Knoten befestigen kann, wenn man möchte. Eine der kürzeren Dreiecksseiten hat eine witzige Zackenkante, die ganz natürlich während des Strickens entsteht und dem Tuch seine ungewöhnliche Form verleiht. Weil man an einer Ecke des Tuchs beginnt, kann man jederzeit mit dem Stricken aufhören und abketten – und bekommt ein Halstüchlein, ein kleines oder größeres Tuch. Das perfekte Strickprojekt, um zwischen komplizierteren zu entspannen. Auch geeignet für Anfänger und junge Strickerinnen und Stricker. Der Name? Nun, wenn man einen 150-Gramm-Strang Wollmeise 100% Merino dafür nimmt, kann man genau wie viele Zacken stricken? 42. Die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Universum und dem ganzen Rest, jedenfalls wenn es nach Douglas Adams‘ großartigem Buch „Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis“ („The Hitchhikers‘ Guide to the Galaxy“) geht.

Un point qui met en valeur les fils à chaussettes multicolores ou teints à la main. Hitchhiker c’est un petit châle triangulaire peu pronfond, légèrement asymétrique, que vous pouvez enrouler autour de votre cou plusieurs fois. Les pointes sont suffisamment longues pour être nouées. La bordure en dents de scie se construit tout simplement au cours du tricot et donne à ce châle son allure originale. Parce que le tricot débute par l’une des pointes latérales, vous pouvez l’achever à votre convenance, rabattre les mailles et avoir un tour de cou, un petit ou un grand châle.Voici donc un projet parfait pour se détendre entre deux ouvrages plus élaborés ou bien pour les débutants, les jeunes tricoteurs. D’où vient le nom de ce patron? Si vous utilisez un écheveau de 150 grammes, 100% mérinos de chez Wollmeise, combien de dents pourrez vous tricoter ? Vous pourrez en tricoter 42. Et 42 c’est la réponse à la question concernant l’univers et tout le reste, selon le savoureux livre de Douglas Adams « Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy ». Alors, n’oubliez pas votre serviette et bon tricot! La version Française est HitchhikerFRANCAIS.pdf •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Punto musgo. Es sencillo, abrigado y amoroso. Cede y es reversible y hace que cualquier lana variegada teñida a mano para calcetines resulte realmente espectacular. Así es que aquí está Hitchhiker: Es un pequeño echarpe triangular, estrecho y ligeramente asimétrico, que puede envolverse varias veces alrededor del cuello. Las puntas son lo suficientemente largas como para anudarlas. Uno de los lados cortos del triángulo muestra un borde de diente de sierra que aparece de manera natural al tejer la prenda y le da al echarpe su forma inusual. Como la prenda se trabaja empezando en un extremo, puedes darla por terminada cuando quieras, cerrando los puntos, y te encontrarás con un pañuelo de cuello, un echarpe pequeño o uno grande. Es una labor perfecta para relajarse entre otras más complicadas. También resulta muy recomendable para principiantes y niños. El patrón en español es hitchhikerESPANOL.pdf ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Rätstickning. Det är enkelt, det är varmt och kramvänligt, elastiskt och vändbart och det får vilket flerfärgat, handfärgat sockgarn som helst att briljera. Så, här är Hitchhiker: Den är en grund och något asymmetriskt triangelformad liten sjal som kan viras flera gånger runt halsen. Ändarna är tillräckligt långa för att kunna knytas ihop. En av triangelns kortsidor har en sågtandad kant som växer fram på ett naturligt sätt under stickandets gång och ger sjalen dess ovanliga form. Eftersom stickningen påbörjas i ena änden så kan du avsluta när som helst, maska av och få en användbar snusnäsduk, liten sjal eller större sjal. Ett perfekt projekt att koppla av med mellan mer komplicerade projekt, och passar mycket bra även för nybörjare och yngre stickerskor och stickare. The Swedish Version is hitchhikerSVENSKA.pdf •••••••••••••••••••••• “Автостопщик” - узкая, слегка асимметричная, удлинённая треугольная шаль, которая легко ляжет в несколько оборотов вокруг шеи. На одной из коротких сторон в процессе вязания образуется интересный зубчатый край. Петли считать не нужно! Работу можно завершить в любой момент, связав маленький галстук, небольшую шальку или большую шаль. Модель названа по научно-фантастическому роману Дугласа Адамса “Автостопом по галактике”. Для моих друзей, говорящих по-русски, добавлен файл HitchhikerRUS.pdf ••••••••••••••••• Ribbelsteek. ‘t Is eenvoudig, het is warm en elastisch, het ziet er aan beide zijden goed uit en zorg ervoor dat handgevormde sokkenwol in verloopkleuren goed tot zijn recht komt. Hitchhiker: het is en lange, smalle, enigszins asymmetrische sjaal die je meerdere malen omje nek kan wikkelen en, als je wilt, nog aan elkaar kan knopen. Een van de korte zijden van de driehoek heeft een getande rand de tijdens het breien heel natuurlijk onstaat. Hierdoor krijgt de sjaal haar bijzonderer vorm. Omdat je op een hoek van de driehoek begint, kun je elk moment ophouden met brei een en afkanten; je kunt kiezen voor een halssjaaltje of een kleinere of grotere sjaal. Een prima project om mee te ontspannen tussen meer ingewikkelde breiwerken door; ook erg geschikt voor beginners en jonge breiers.
