Vertical and horizontal textures are displayed in the Rebuck Shawl. An easy-to-memorize Eyelet Rib runs at right angles to a Horizontal Rib.

The shawl begins with a few stitches and increases along one edge to create the asymmetrical triangle.

The instructions for the Set up and Eyelet Rib Section are both written and charted; the instructions for the Eyelet Rib and Horizontal Rib Section are written only.

gives you a fabric that you like, but be aware that a
change in gauge can affect the amount of yarn
used and the size of the finished shawl.
