Ziggy
Ziggy got its name from the iconic cover of the album Aladdin Sane by David Bowie. The shawl is worked in garter stitch and short-rows to form triangles. The triangles are lined by fringes of loop stitch worked holding one strand of both contrasting colors together. Ziggy was first published in Laine magazine #21 in the summer of 2024.
