CONSTRUCTION, SIZING, AND YARN SUBSTITUTIONS
This triangular shawl is knit lengthwise from one tip to the other tip with alternating sections of brioche stitch and garter stitch.

Shawl length can be modified by working additional or fewer Increase Section repeats prior to beginning Transition Section. Width can most easily be modified by adjusting gauge.

This shawl can accommodate any yarn weight and any gauge with no pattern changes required. Note, however, that adjustments to yarn weight or gauge will influence the amount of yarn needed.
