This shawl shape was inspired by the Cylon Raiders of Battlestar Galactica. You can choose to add little raiders in the middle section of the shawl for a bit of texture and interest. Short rows are used to make the points longer, emphasizing the shape and making the shawl easier to wear. Tweed or glitter yarn can give it a galaxy look.
