Axonometric is an extra-large triangular shawl, knit in delightfully squishy garter stitch with an allover graphic pattern of perforated lines created with eyelets. This shawl’s straightforward, top-down construction and integrated garter stitch trims keep the focus on the mesmerizing lace pattern.

Two supplementary PDF documents are available for download with your pattern purchase. These contain an ‘expanded’ version of all charts, with all repeats shown; one has been formatted to be printed on a home printer and tiled together, and the other consists of one single, extra-large page, and is best viewed on a computer or tablet screen. It is not necessary to refer to these supplementary documents in order to knit this pattern, but they may be a helpful guide in visualizing the relationships between each section of the lace pattern.
