Starting with a simple granny stripe pattern that forms triangles in solid and relief, the pattern slowly transforms into more open triangles ending with a simple triangular lace edging.
The simple, unfussy lace and undyed yarn combine to make a modern, elegant shawl that is greater than the sum of its parts.
