This is a triangular shaped shawl, worked in one piece, from the top down. Casting on requires using the garter tab cast on method, for which I have provided a tutorial link.

Instructions for this shawl are provided in both written and charted format. The chart is easy to read and ideal for knitters who haven’t followed a chart before.

This shawl is perfect for beginners to shawl knitting and also lace knitting too.
The design for this shawl was inspired by my Skoosh! Shawl. After completing Skoosh!, I wanted to design a second shawl that would include a little bit of lace pattern. The thought of knitting lace can be slightly daunting to most new knitters, but this is a very straight forward lace pattern to follow: there are only four rows in this pattern repeat and only one of these four is a lace pattern row.
I’m also hoping to help knitters understand how triangular shawls develop with this very simple yet elegant shawl pattern.
