When I saw the fiber I spun for this shawl, it reminded me of the blue cobblestones you find in the old parts of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and I immediately wanted to turn that memory into a snuggly shawl to use on the plane for my next trip there. When I looked back at the photos I had taken, I realized my memories had made the cobblestones a darker blue, but it didn’t matter. I decided I wanted a geometric pattern to capture the sense of brickwork and came up with this one.

The shawl is an asymmetric triangle. While I used a lace weight handspun yarn, I think a light fingering or fingering weight yarn would also work.

Warning - the pattern has not been test knitted by anyone other than myself so there may be errors. Please let me know if you find any and I will post a corrected version. Thanks.
