This striped garter shawl is worked asymmetrically from one corner point to the opposite edge. Simple increase and decrease stitches shape the shawl into a beautifully soft triangular shape. Choose two complementary colours to work the stripes and the frequent colour changes will help this project fly off the needles.

Pattern includes notes, list of abbreviations, diagram, and written instructions.
