GENERAL INFORMATION
This shawl is a symmetrical triangle knitted top down. It is knitted mostly in garter st interspersed with rows of aster stitch. The shawl can be made in many yarn weights as it’s a simple repeat that can be worked as many times as you want until you reach your desired size. I used a sock weight single ply yarn.
