Abberley Shawl
Rustic gets refined. This shawl enjoys contradictions: strong geometric shape contrasts the natural material, the natural material from hardy ancient breeds is spun to form a fine lace.
Started from the bottom point, each row is increased at each end to form a triangle. Deceptively simple, if you can make a corner to corner (C2C) blanket you can make this stunning shawl.
