This shawl is knitted flat from tip to edge. The shallow triangular shape is achieved by making increases at both edges on RS rows at an even rate. The textured lace stitch pattern is knit in Stockinette Stitch, purl stitches, yarn overs and central double decreases on both RS and WS. The double set of increases at the edges creates a nice selvedge. This shawl is designed to be reversible and can be worn on both sides.
