Pattern is written and charted.
The shawl is knit flat, starting from a sharp corner and worked sideways with increases on one edge.
The final shape is an asymmetrical triangle with a strong central diagonal and decorative lace inserts.

Size is easily adjustable by repeating the main chart section until desired wingspan is reached.

Original sample:
• Yarn: Kauni 8/2 (100% wool, 400m / 100g)
• Yardage: 896 m (980 yds)
• Needles: 3.75 mm
• Gauge: 21 sts × 34 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette (after blocking)

Recommended yarns: wool or wool blends with good stitch definition. Avoid fluffy fibers like mohair or angora.

This pattern includes a little Slavic legend — about love, trees, and distance.
For those who believe that yarn remembers.
