Jiggle & Joggle

Jiggle and Joggle are now live on Ravelry (knit and crochet) and Payhip (knit and crochet)!


This pair of sister shawls each sport a striking sideways chevron design. These shawls were designed in collaboration with my newest local yarn shop, Knit Dallas, using their exclusive colorway "East Dallas" from Neighborhood Fiber Co. Each design takes 2 skeins of the Rustic Fingering base, but the shop also stocks the Studio Sock base if single ply isn't your thing.


The knit version, Jiggle, uses intermittent i-cord cast ons to gradually add more chevrons and build depth, followed by i-cord bind offs in the latter half to create that triangular shape. The crocheted Joggle shawl is formed in much the same way, using chains to sporadically extend the lower edge at first. Then, beyond the midpoint, blocks of stitches will be left unworked at the beginning of each decreasing section to bring the shawl back down to a point at the other end.
