Pi is an irrational number (a decimal with no end and no repeating pattern) that is often approximated with the decimal 3.14. More importantly, Pi represents the geometry of a circle; whereby a circle's circumference doubles as its diameter doubles. In knit-speak, when our rows double, our stitch count will double. This concept was introduced to the knitting community in Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac to create a circular shawl. In this class, we will use this technique to create the more wearable baby sister to the Pi shawl - the half Pi shawl. Because the increases occur infrequently on the doubling rows, there is ample opportunity to experiment with different stitch combinations, texture, cables, and lace. My latest design, Saraya, is an example of a half-pi shawl and is available in Worsted: A Curated Knitwear Collection by Aimée Gille.
