Maria is worked sideways and in a diagonal, attaching the second and third part as you go. First, a striped triangle is knitted sideways. The second triangle is then worked diagonally from the bottom corner of the first part. Lastly, the third triangle is worked from the centre top of the full shawl. An attached i-cord completes the design.
