Nothing beats a simple on-the-go knitting project and this bold, elongated triangle will fit both your travel bag and your sense of fun. Worked in addictive short-row repeats that become successively smaller, this soothing project in three sizes (petite/medium/tall) is a perfect travel companion—and fun to wear when it’s complete. Use one solid or natural heathered yarn and one gradient colorway to achieve the effect pictured here or mix a variegated yarn with a solid for an overall color pattern—a great use for those stray “impulse buy” skeins.
