This shawl uses a garter tab and traditional triangular shaping. Increases are worked at the center spine and at each edge every right-side row. 



Stripes are created by alternating sections of plain stockinette with triple-wrapped stitches, but unusually, these are horizontal stripes across the shawl, instead of following the diagonal line of the increases.



This unfussy, modern take on a lace shawl is finished with a casual, curling edge of plain stockinette, inspired by the easy-going attitude of the tropical island where it was designed.



Choose a circular needle with a very smooth join, as the triple-wrapped stitches can catch where the cable meets the needle.
