Martina Behm Series: The Hitchhiker

We don’t know what cracks up the most about this pattern, whether it has 42 TEETH or that it’s named after The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! Either way, meet this glorious Hitchhiker shawlette by Martina Behm (we haven’t met a Martina Behm pattern we haven’t liked!). This narrow, slightly asymmetrically shaped triangular shawlette can be wrapped around your neck several times. This 2-session class will be taught by Yarnista & Owner Susan Dickerson who will lead you through this saw-tooth wonder in 2 sessions:

• 1 to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, Jan. 23 & 30
