A relaxing, fun knit, this shawl is knit from side to side in a series of biased wedges. Every row increases along the long top edge and every few rows you have a bind off along the bottom edge to create a jagged edging. This combination of increases and decreases creates a biased vortex shaped shawl that curves along the top edge.
