Galaxy is a symmetrical triangle shaped shawl with lattice ribbed texture decoration.
We start at the top of the center with a garter-like tab.
The stitches are increased at the edges and at the center in each RS row in order to achieve the shape of a traditional triangle.
This shawl was made from a skein of yarn 400 yrd or 420 yrd (version A and version B). Both versions are described in detail. Of course it is also possible to use other yarn following the original knitting pattern.

One of Annamaria’s final works.
I finished it in accordance with her instructions after I acquired the necessary knowledge.
