GAUGE 19 sts x 39 rows to 4" / 10 cm in Garter St, after blocking. CONSTRUCTION This triangular shawl is knitted from the top down, flat, and comes with three size options. It begins with a garter tab at the centre. Stitches are increased until the final stitch count is reached. An applied lace border is worked perpendicular to the live stitches. The edge bunting triangles are perfect for using scrap yarn: colours can be arranged randomly, as one long gradient or as two symmetrical sides.
