CONSTRUCTION: Shawl is worked from the bottom up, beginning with a cable cast on. Garter stitch and cables at the hem create a slightly scalloped edge. Centered double decreases are worked along the spine on the right side rows, and single decreases are worked along the edges on all rows, producing an elongated triangular shape.
