Knitted up in simple and sturdy worsted weight Lark, Reishi is cast on at the left tip and is worked sideways, increasing to its maximum depth, then is decreased again to the right tip. The allover zigzag motif (see Moonflower for another take on this stitch pattern) is a gorgeously bold graphic which falls so beautifully on the body.

Note: This is a preview from our newest book To The Point: The Knitted Triangle, by Leila Raven, which will be available for preorder on October 31, 2019. This pattern is not available for individual sale.
