CONSTRUCTION
This sideways triangular shawl begins with the right point, with increases worked until the full depth is achieved. Then decreases are worked, ending with the left point. The motif is created with diagonal lines of twisted stitches that interweave with lines of garter stitch, over a background of reverse stockinette. The result is a beautiful fabric on both sides, with the wrong side being an echo of the motif on the right side.
