Aisha, this unusually shaped, very pretty shawl starts out at the very tip and it gets increased sideways. Followed by two very textural stitch patterns, one being a wave design, the other a gorgeous middle lace diamond pattern. There are also relaxing garter stitch sections, though some sure look lacy, due to the yarn used as shown here.

The pattern is fully written and also offers charts for the lace patterns.
Knit either the 52” or the 67” long shawl with a width of 19” in the middle.
