Zea is a one ball shawl. The basic design is a garter stitch triangle with i-cord edges which is knitted flat.
Added elements that are inspired by the corn plant Zea mays are the little eyelet motifs which are scattered about the fabric, and two bold tassels, like the corn cobs.
Together they make a stylish shawlette that can be adapted for making with any weight of yarn and a reminder of Summer days during the colder times of the year.
The pattern includes many photos to illustrate the stages of construction.
