All profits from this pattern go to the local homeless shelter as per my Mother’s request.

This triangular shawl was inspired by my mother’s favorite tatted tablecloth made by my Great-grandmother decades ago. I made many attempts at mimicking the original design before settling on the stitch pattern used here. The shawl is worked from the top down. The shaping comes from the increases at the center and the edges of the pattern.
