Description: This shawl was designed spontaneously without planning the whole design out first. Each section is a result of a spur of the moment decision that still results in a balanced design. Featuring stripes, a lace pattern and an i-cord bind off, this is an interesting and diverse pattern. Worked without short rows, the shape of the shawl is achieved by increasing two stitches every row.
