Lucky Break
Sometimes the knitting I crave most is simple garter stitch, meditatively worked back and forth. When combined with a handful of ‘thinking’ rows and some colorful minis, the results can be incredible! Only 12 pairs of bind-off/cast-on rows are used to create this eye-catching accessory that drapes beautifully and adds flair to any outfit. Choose your palette and watch it fly off the needles. You may even find yourself making another Lucky Break!
