Billy Goat Trail was inspired by the beautiful yarns from Withers Wool in Woodbine, MD. The yarn is created from the merino sheep and Angora goats who live there.

This triangle shawl is worked on the bias with increases on the right edge on both the right and wrong sides and decreases on the left edge on the right side only. This shaping creates a long, shallow triangle shawl with a curved upper edge.
