PATTERN NOTES
Starting with a Garter Stitch stripe section and transitioning to a cable pattern, this triangular shawl is knitted by using some clever increasing and decreasing. This creates a lovely drapey bias fabric. The flowing cable decreases accentuate this shaping by meeting
in the centre of the shawl. Pachira is then finished with a second Garter Stitch stripe section, for a clean edge.
The pattern is written in such a way that you will end up working the cable for all charts on the same row. Cables are charted only.
