{"product_id":"lunatic-fringe-by-jennifer-dassau","title":"Lunatic Fringe by Jennifer Dassau","description":"\u003cp\u003eEccentric and non-conforming, Lunatic Fringe is an off-kilter shawl that grows asymmetrically from the bottom up, and sprouts digit-like fringes on one side. The fringes are knit in as you go along by repeatedly binding off and casting on, while the body features alternating textural stripes. Cast on with a few stitches, Lunatic Fringe grows by increasing unequally along both sides to the long top edge, which is finished simply with a stretchy bind off. Like a devastated remnant found in the irradiated ruins of former civilization, Lunatic Fringe represents a ravaged relic of the cyber past, featuring a slubby yarn blend which is weirdly iridescent in duo-tonal colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shawl is cast on at the bottom tip, and worked to the top edge in alternating garter stitch and stockinette stitch stripes, with a 2 st garter edging on each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechniques \u0026amp; Skills Used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003elongtail CO, backwards loop CO, knit, increasing; this pattern is fully written.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e58” length and 16” depth, with instructions for customizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.woolandcompany.mom\/collections\/the-fibre-company-cumbria\"\u003eThe Fibre Co.
