Distant Star
This shawl is really all about the texture. By transforming how a Tunisian Simple Stitch is worked, moving it to between the stitches, a lovely line of biased stitches is created . This bias is echoed in the structure with a simple increase along the centre of the shawl, creating a kite shape.
