Serac is a simple triangle shawl that starts from the bottom point so you can stop any time. There are really only two pattern rows; what makes the pattern is the way they are repeated.

Wikipedia defines a serac thusly: “A serac (originally from Swiss French sérac) is a block or column of ice formed by intersecting crevasses on a glacier.” A photo from the Wikipedia page looked just like the stitch pattern I’m using, and happened to be from the Winthrop Glacier on Mount Rainier in my home state of Washington. :)
