Notes

After 3 Andrea’s shawls knitted with the same yarns, I changed slopes to get a more open angle (larger photo here).

I was inspired by the shaping of the Traveling woman shawl. I did not make central decreases of the lace border (16 rows), I only decreased at the edges (1 st every 2 rows). Then, I worked more decreases at the edges than at the center (4/1 every 4 rows), and I ended working more decreases -6 instead of 5 every 4 rows- but more often at the center (3 at the center and 3 at the edges every 4 rows).

More information on my blog at In tricot veritas. But in French.

Right colors: photos 4 to 7.
