In MDK Field Guide No. 6, beloved Amy Christoffers explores different ideas of transparency in four playful, accessible projects that are wearable, gift-able, portable, and that you can carry around with you and knit, knit, knit.

• Albers Shawl: An airy shawl with “windows” of color that form effortlessly making it the ideal travel wrap.
• Cockleshell Cardigan: A baby sweater with just a touch of lace and an unusual yet plainly apparent construction.
• Shakerag Top: A lightweight tee in a fabric that is striped, yet uses only one color of yarn.
• Peek-Through Cowl/Scarf: A layering of lace that both reveals and obscures the pattern, and is an amusingly tricky knit.
