Transitions in color and pattern make this shawl a joy to spin and knit. Beginning at the narrow point, it grows from plain moss stitch to an elegant lace pattern.

This asymmetrical triangular shawl is knitted from one short end to the longer end for a beautiful drape and swing. It features three patterns: moss stitch, a small lace motif, and a large leaf motif.
