Passaggio Shawl
Passaggio (Puh-SAH-Joe, Italian for “passage”) is knit in a way that seamlessly transitions from one area to the next. For a cowl version, see Circular Reasoning.
Worked as 3 connected triangles, the result is a full-size, seamless, trapezoid shawl that is a bit of a puzzle to tell which direction(s) it was knit from. Joining just a few sts with Kitchener stitch is required to seal the deal, although you can easily do a 3-needle bind off of these sts instead.
The garter stitch makes for a relaxing project, while the eyelet stripes and multidirectional construction keep things fun.
