Designed to work with a variegated yarn, with short or long color repeats. In this shawl, you will find ripples, textures and abrupt changes in stitch count to prevent (or at least reduce) pooling visual effects. If you have a yarn in colors that you love but hate the pooling, you should give this pattern a try. The body of the shawl is worked from the bottom point to the wingspan edge, with increases at the beginning of each row. Then the border is picked up and knit along the yarn over stitches on two edges of the triangle and knitted outward. Both lace patterns (for the body of the shawl and the border) are fully written. Two sizes are offered, small and large.
