A fringe theory is “an idea or viewpoint which differs from the accepted scholarship in its field” (Wikipedia).

This V-shaped shawl may look and wear like a triangle shawl, but has a unique construction allowing it to not bunch around your neck when wearing it. Wear for warmth, fashion, and the envy of others.

The fisherman’s rib stitch is a simple combination of knits & purls to get a beautiful texture. Eyelets and fringe are added to bring interest and makes this piece trendy. Great for cool weather.


Pattern includes written instructions for the pattern, and a photo AND video tutorial for attaching the fringe with a crochet hook. You do not need to know how to crochet to attach fringe for this shawl.
