Garter stitch and slipped stitches. Harmonious ease.
Super simple shaping creates a gentle wave along the edge of this side to side triangle.
Garter stitch makes for a relaxing knit.
Two slipped stitches at either edge complete the shawl and add a twist of grace.
Understated elegance. Divine simplicity.

“Wafian” Old English for “to wave” named for the gentle waves flowing across the bottom edge.
