This triangular shawl is knit right to left and creates a shawl about 64.5 in long and 17 in wide at the widest point. It uses twisted traveling stitches to create an Aran-inspired pattern that flows from edge to edge. The twisted stitches emerge from one side, cable and weave across the shawl, and then gently collapse into each other on the other side. The way they move reminded me of grass moving underwater.

This pattern is recommended for intermediate knitters. It uses charts that are repeated rather than one large chart for the whole pattern. Completely written instructions are not available. There is a small tutorial on how to follow the chart instructions within the pattern.

Worsted weight wool yarn is recommended, as wet blocking will create the best finish for the piece.
