This shawl begins with a Shetland construction method to create the center triangle. Stitches are then easily picked up from the yarn over loops that are formed down two sides. The rest of the shawl is worked outwards in a semi-circular construction using two different sized needles to create a simple and fun stitch pattern. The shawl is then finished with a little bit of lace and a picot bind off.
