You all know it - the Hitchhiker. For many of you, it was one of the first projects in their knitting career. This little shawl made from just one strand, perfect for tying in a jacket or coat in the cold season, without a lot of tangles hanging down. You could knit it from any yarn thickness and in all kinds of plain or multi-colored yarns, and all of this in just right stitches.
After a few years, Martina Behm added the Hitchhiker Beyond to the design - the jagged edge is no longer on the bottom/side edge, but on the top and the whole scarf is now symmetrical! This means it sits perfectly around the neck and can be tied at the front.
In our search for small projects that are a joy to give away or keep for yourself and are also absolutely beginner-friendly, we didn't want to withhold this treasure from you.
Our yarn of choice is the wonderfully soft Fine Merino Sock by Atelier Franziska Uhl, which creates a cuddly soft feeling on the neck and is available in an incredible number of colors.
