Pattern Description:

Texture and lace combine in this traditional triangle shaped shawl. The design gets underway by casting on for the longest row first. A little tedious, but rewarding as you move forward and find every other row becoming shorter.

Patterning during the first and third section is only worked on right side rows. The middle section will have lace stitches worked on both the right side and wrong side.
