A triangular, top-down shawl, which takes the knitter through a series of stitch patterns evoking the wildflowers common to the Northern Isles.
This shawl, inspired by the beautiful shades of Rosy Green Wool, begins with a 5-stitch ribbed tab. The ribbed upper border is quite sturdy, and draws the stitching in to a gentle curve that hugs the shoulders. Increases on both right side & wrong side rows make this triangle wider than it is deep.
