Wavelets of lace lap at the trailing edge of this simple shawl textured with chevron furrows of garter ridge. The same instructions yield a large size with softly rustic fabric in Shelter or a smaller triangle with crisply defined motifs in Arbor. Jewel tones make Terra perfect for autumn; a bright hue like Tincture will give you a jolt of color to enliven an outfit in any season.
