This shawl pattern is based on square roots and was inspired by both my math geek husband and my favorite roller derby girl. The large size and simple seed stitch knits up beautifully in gorgeous sweeps of favorite colors, team colors, or subtle tones—be inspired by nature or skyscrapers or your favorite team. A variety of yarns from lace to dk weight will work for this pattern, just knit until the shawl reaches the “right” size.
