Tilting blocks of bright colours, surrounded by broken rib, are delightfully easy. The bias fabric sways back and forth like wavy lines, making for a gorgeous accessory that defines the line between grace and daring.

The shawl has an asymmetrical, elongated triangular shape that grows from one point toward the opposite side. It begins with a few stitches at one tip and is worked lengthwise on the bias. The first section is worked in broken rib. The middle section switches to tilting blocks, before finishing with a short block of more broken ribbing. Because this shawl is worked from one end to the other, the size of the shawl can be adjusted by working more or fewer rows of each section.
The stitch patterns are both written and charted (see page 3) for your preference.
