This pattern is versatile and can be made wider and longer.

The shawl is made up of alternating blocks of trebles and chain bars, which have a striking resemblance to whiskers and windows.

A delicate design like this will be transformed by blocking. Block the shawl to the correct tension then use extra pins to even out the pattern; the shawl is finished in fringing – use a contrast yarn if you prefer; connected hexagons create the lace-effect pattern,
