The Nootka rose is native to the Pacific Northwest, and the simple lace flowers scattered across this reversible garter stitch triangle remind me of its blossoms and give the shawl a vintage charm.

It begins at the bottom point, and the easy-to-memorize lace repeats every 12 rows. Since the ending can be started after any repeat, it is easy to customize the size. An eyelet border and elastic cast-off create a wider top edge for a flattering fit.
Designed for lace yarns, it also can be knit in a variety of fingering and Shetland/sport/DK weights.
