Van Dillen’s striking bias-shape shawl is knit on the diagonal (increased at one edge and decreased at the opposite) in alternating stripes of garter, lace, relief stripes and a woven/slip-stitch pattern, with one edge worked in l-cord. The delightful melange of colors and stitches shines in Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts’ Extra Fine Merino DK/Light Worsted.
