Sunlight and Shadow

(Please find errata at the bottom of these notes)

Sunlight and Shadow is a triangular shawl, constructed to create the illusion of shawls stacked on one another, or of three-dimensional steps, with the sun highlighting the top, and creating shadow below.

This shawl is knit from the bottom up and uses a simple but unusual construction.
