This triangular shaped shawl starts at the top with just a few stitches, and is worked until it is the size wanted – or until you run out of yarn! It can be worked with any weight of yarn, from lace to Bulky. Or, for fun, try combining several strands of yarn to create your own unique version. It is completely reversible, with one section in stockinette stitch and the other in reverse stockinette. Finish with I-cord bind off, or a fun ruffled border.

Use a gauge that produces a fabric that is neither too stiff nor too loose.
