This is dedicated to my best friend C, I hope that it helps her to get well again. I know that she likes to share it with all of you.

For this paralelogram-shaped shawl you need a fine material. Here you see a combination of silk, mohair and glas.
You start on a short end of the paralelogram and reduce the number of stiches every second row on one end and add the stich at the end of the same row. So you get the paralelogram-shape. The pattern lines are diagonal in the finished shawl because they are parallel to the short line.
