Caribeño shawl is my dream of sipping a refreshing cocktail under a palapa on a white sandy beach, as the pristine turquoise water laps the soft sand and washes all my worries away…

Caribeño shawl is an asymmetrical triangular shape, knitted sideways. The pattern can be worked from the written instructions or the charts (download as a separate file). The size of the shawl is easy to adjust by working fewer repeats of the main body.
