Inspired by Kieran Foley’s MagicWaves and Nim Teasdale’s MagicWaves Triangle Patterns which made me think not only of waves but also of flames so I started playing. Flames need to run vertically and they need to flicker in both directions unlike the flow of waves. Phoenix Wings is the pattern I came up with.

This semi-circular/semi-octangular shawl is knit from the top down and is made up of 4 wedges. The size can be adjusted by adding another wedge to give you 5/8’s of a circle, or you can knit more repeats of chart 2 to increase the length (wingspan) and depth at center.

Warning - the pattern has not been test knitted by anyone other than myself so there may be errors. Please let me know if you find any and I will post a corrected version. Thanks.
