A few months ago I was in a major clothing chain, when I saw a simple knit triangle. I was surprised, a) to find a triangular shawl in that store and b) how the simplicity and size of it actually made me want to buy one… despite being a knitter myself. I decided to eschew the shawl and design something similar; something that allowed the gradient (or variegated!) yarn to shine, could be worked to any size with any amount of yarn, and resulted in something easy to wear and style. This shawl is the ultimate comfort knit, and I named it Hamilton after the township we moved to last summer :)
