Triangular shawl in two sizes is fairly easy to knit in garter stitch with yarnover increases at each side on every other row. Alternating motifs at each side, inspired by asparagus tips, provide the challenge and variation.

Shawl is not worked in traditional Faroese manner, but it has a similar shape to help lay better on your neck and shoulders.
