Plus, new flair from Knox Mountain Knit Co.! | LIGHTWEIGHT HIPSTER IN FIBERSTORY FAVE SOCK | | | What does the word "hipster" mean to you? To us it means someone with breezy, effortless style! We're pretty sure that's what Joji Locatelli was thinking too when she designed her wildly popular Hipster Shawl - which she recently reworked into a Lightweight Hipster design for fingering weight yarn like our color-tastic range of Fiberstory Fave Sock! | | Fiberstory Fave Sock is one of those amazing yarns that just makes every project beautiful! This easy-care, 100% superwash merino fingering weight yarn with a soft, 2-ply construction that delivers a tight, springy twist for ultra-crisp stitch definition. It's a fantastic choice for shawls, scarves, hats, sweaters and, of course, socks!
Hand-dyed in Michigan, Fave Sock is stocked at Loop, Loop West + in our online shop in a kaleidoscope of lush colorways. And Fave Sock colorways are dyed to play well with each other, meaning if you've got a fingering weight multi-color or colorwork project in your knit queue, Fave Sock is probably the perfect yarn option!
For her Light Weight Hipster, Loop staffer Barb chose Mesa, a beautifully neutral speckled shade, but this design will knit up just as beautifully in tonal semi-solids and boldly variegated colors too! | | Lightweight Hipster's artful combination of garter stitch and crossed drop stitches makes this shawl a breezy, crescent-shaped accessory that's perfect for spring/summer wear!
And although those bands of crossed drop stitches may look a bit complicated, Barb assured us she got the hang of it pretty quickly. That said, this is a great pattern for advanced beginners. | | The great thing about this shawl is that it's neither too large, nor too heavy. It's a terrific little piece for dressing up t-shirt and jeans for a quick run to the coffeeshop. It will also add a effortlessly chic layer of "je ne sais quois" to any ensemble, whether your heading into the office or out on date night.
To knit your own Lightweight Hipster shawl, you'll need: | | KUCHELIG WRAP
Play with color and knit Kuschelig by Christin Kimsey! This generously-sized garter stitch shawl is knit modularly with 5 colors of Fave Sock (show here in Toffee, Pinch, Barely, Fog + Fir).
