Mind Over Miter is a modular garter stitch shawl that uses decreases and a three needle bind off to create unusual mitered stripes. Amply sized, the shawl is large enough to be worn on its own or fit under a coat. The garter stitch makes for easy knitting and a cosy fabric. Four colors are used - two for the borders and two for the interior stripes. The knitting is pretty straightforward, but creates a complex looking shawl.
