This shawl is the interplay of light and dark, garter and stockinette, resulting in the formation of a delicate network of rigid lines. As the garment grows, a sophisticated and architectural sequence emerges, evoking a sense of luxury and high-end fashion.

Montage is constructed bottom up, has an asymmetrical triangular shape by increasing along the left edge, and includes a 3-stitch i-cord border.
