Modular shawls with distinct sections like this one are a great opportunity to try simple modifications to get your perfect result! Place colours differently, play with stripe sequences, try different edging — the end result will be a beautiful and unique story, just like the seashore treasures that inspired this shawl’s textures and structure. This pattern creates a shawl with a deep V shape, with a central open square, framed by two elongated parallelograms.
