Flowing lace and rhythmic texture define this triangular shawl, worked from the top down with a central spine that anchors the design. Zig zag lace panels alternate with eyelet ladders and textured ridges, creating a fabric that is both airy and structured.

The interplay of openwork and solid stitches forms a bold geometric rhythm, while the scalloped lower edge gives the shawl a graceful finish.
