Diamonds float across a field of stripes in this top-down triangular shawl. All of the pretty details — dotted lines and diamonds, tidy I-cord selvedges and a faux rib edging — are created using simple slipped stitches, meaning that you’ll only use one color on any given row. It’s beautiful and a pleasure to knit!

Instructions are fully written, with an optional chart.
