Woods is a classical symmetrical triangle worked from the top down to the bottom edge.
The garter stitch section, embellished by eyelets here and there, is interspersed by a section in two-color slip- stitch motif. A similar lace pattern is recalled in the final section, balancing the shawl with an airy and light border.
Use two low contrast colors for a discrete and elegant result, or two bright and high contrast colors to obtain a modern and eye-catching shawl!

GAUGE after blocking: 22 sts x 44 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” in garter stitch.
Gauge is not critical; different gauge will only affect finished size and yardage.
FINISHED SIZE after blocking: 145 x 60 cm / 58” x 24”.
