Gigglemug is a kite shaped shawl that starts from the narrow, pointy, corner on the neck edge, and gradually gets wider towards the end. The slightly asymmetric shape is created with a centre “spine” formed by double decreases. The lace pattern is fully written out, but there´s also a chart for a single pattern repeat for both sides of the centre “spine”.
