This top-down triangular shawlette is my tribute to Alberta, Canada. The central spine is a simple cable pattern that reminds me of the wheat that grows aplenty here. The lace pattern that makes up the body of the shawl represents the beautiful snow-capped Rocky Mountains, while the softly curving edges are my interpretation of our sparkling, electric blue glacial rivers and lakes.
The shawlette is worked from the top-down, starting with a garter stitch tab. The lace panels are worked simultaneously with the central cable. Then a series of short row sections are worked to give the edge some subtle curves. The shawl is finished with rows of garter stitch and then bound off.
