The yarn for this shawl made me think of Sweet William with their clusters of pink, magenta, and purple flowers. In Shetland Fine Lace Knitting by Carol Christiansen, she includes a pattern with a diamond of lace holes set in two broken waves (pattern 3.3, page 51) that fit my image of clusters of Swett Williams. I did reverse the pattern so it could be knit top down instead of bottom up. I also switched it to a stockinette instead of garter stitch ground but feel free to do a garter stitch version

The shawl is triangular and knit from the top down.

The yarn is hand spun from a blend of 60% Merino wool, 10% Shetland wool, 15% tussah silk, 10% bombyx silk, and 5% sari silk. I think the shawl would look lovely in a solid or semi solid as well.

Warning - the pattern has not been test knitted by anyone other than myself so there may be errors. Please let me know if you find any and I will post a corrected version. Please make sure you have the most recent version. Thanks.
