Reminiscent of a quill, Risha is an ideal canvas for the many beautiful colors in hand-painted yarns. A bit of lace, a bit more stockinette, knit until the yarn is nearly gone. Simply graceful!

Knit side to side, Risha is an asymmetric, left-leaning triangle shawl that starts from a point then works out to the opposite edge, which is bound off with an I-cord. Wrong side rows are nearly all purl with the exception of double yarnovers, which are worked as knit-purl. Risha may be worked from written directions or chart until the written bind off.
