Inspire your inner poet or artist with this romantic triangular shawl that’s worked from the top down, and ended with a crochet bind-off.

This lightweight shawl is generously sized and has an easy to remember pattern. The delightful border was inspired by a vintage edging pattern. It can be worked in two colors as shown, all in one color, or work the main part of the shawl in one color and change to a second color for the remainder - approximate yarn requirements are provided for the two alternatives.

Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but the yarn weight and needle size used will affect the finished measurements.

Finished size after blocking: 65” (165 cm) across top edge, and 27” (68.5 cm) long at center.
