This pattern is featured in 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing.

Halliste is a triangular shawl knitted in the round from the tip to the wingspan. The shawl is steeked with the steek stitches unraveled to create a knotted fringe edging. Geometric motifs dot the shawl using the Estonian inlay technique called Roosimine in two colours. Aleks Byrd likes to play with her Estonian roots and looks for inspiration from her treasure trove of old Estonian books. The initial inspiration for this shawl came from the idea of translating the beautiful embroidery style of Halliste, Estonia.
