It's a square shawl which is one quarter stockinette, one quarter lace and two quarters garter. You can wear it elegantly in many different ways: in half as a triangle, in half as a stole, over your head, under your coat, wrapped around you whichever way you choose.

Whichever tools you prefer to block your shawls with. Gauge (worked in the round and blocked): Garter - 22 sts and 43 rounds = 4" (10cm) square. Stockinette - 23 sts and 43 rounds = 4" (10cm) square. Lace - 20 sts and 40 rounds = 4" (10cm) square. Size: 40" (102cm) square. [1]: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/468997222/shawl-joy?ref=shop_home_active_1
