Linen Weave Boomerang

You can buy the pattern individually or as part of either the Linen Weaves or the Spare Boomerangs ebook (3 or 4 patterns for 7 euros). *Not really a boomerang, but then it's not really woven either....* *(ETA - this is the first pattern I ever called a boomerang - I already had a crescent and a triangle in the collection - my husband took one look at it and said, "it looks like a boomerang" - so boomerang it was - and now others seem to have picked up the name to describe this shape too.)* Linen stitch is one of my favourite stitches and this is one of my favourite shapes. You start with just a few stitches and knit until you like the size or run out of yarn - whichever comes first - then bind off (special bind-off worked with just one yarn, but which is very easy and gives a nice 2-colour effect). You can use the pattern to create 2 different versions: one with stockinette bands in the MC and the other worked completely in linen stitch. **Listed as Worsted - which works well, but you can use any yarn weight you like.** Great for handspun because you can use up every last bit of it. Also if your handspun is a bit irregular, it just adds to the effect. You could also use self-striping or highly variegated yarn for the CC. **For the version with stockinette bands:** Main colour : minimum 200 m. Contrast colour: minimum 100 m. **For all linen stitch:** At least 200m of each yarn (you'll use bigger needles, details in the pattern).
