Ark is inspired by texture! Garter stitch is an easy, enjoyable way to add some “bumps” in your knitting, especially on a stockinette canvas. To keep things interesting, I used a tuck stitch pattern that keeps you wanting to knit just another row, to reveal the next textured section. If you’re a fan of texture and cozy knitting sessions, pick your colors and get started!

Ark is a wide half-circle shawl. Worked from the
center top, stitches are increased at each side
rapidly. Sections of stockinette, garter and tuck
stitch create a beautiful striped textured effect.
