Fuente is a lovely top down knit shawl. I was inspired by both the shape of the shawl (half diamond) and the diamond like Shetland lace pattern.

This shawl begins with a simple garter tab cast on, followed by a fun and exciting charted pattern.

The symbol for K3togtbl is an unconventional ‘3’. I did this for a specific reason, I wanted to be able to differentiate the decrease from the symbol other double decreases traditionally use, it is specific to this pattern and not generally used.
