Designed to look as good on the front as it does on the back (or the back as the front?) for two different looks. Reverse Gear is a triangular shawl worked from point to long edge with cleverly altering patterns that form diagonals on the shawl.

Worked without the optional lace edging you have a stunning but more unisex design.
