This triangular shawl is worked in one piece, starting with the centre back. The top portion of the shawl is more crescent-like in shape, resulting in a curved upper edge. The lower lace portion is triangular in shape. The size and shape of the shawl can be altered by working additional repeats of either portion of the shawl.

The difficulty level is considered to be intermediate, but an adventurous beginner may also enjoy knitting this shawl. Charts as well as written instructions are provided for the body and edging.

Orange Marmalde is one of my favourite hostas in our garden. It is a showy mound of foliage that starts out bright gold in the centre with darker green margins. The centre fades to a lighter creamy yellow later in the summer if it is grown in bright sunlight. We have a large patch by our front steps and my eye is instantly drawn to it during the season.

It is the inspiration for this shawl, and the fibre was handspun especially for this design. Any laceweight yarn may be susbstituted for the handspun.
