This large, long-tailed triangular shawl / bandana is knit from the top down, with the pattern formed by alternating stripes of Stockinette stitch and Triple Chevron Lace stitch patterning. The lace pattern is meant to evoke Himalayan peaks and the variegated colorway sunsets in Nepal and Sikkim, in India.

The Hedgehog Fibres yarn is a Potluck colorway so you won’t be able to match it exactly - just choose something you really like that contrasts well with the Miss Babs Keira (in Daguerrotype).

Note - the first photo showing the shawl worked in lighter colors and with less contrast:
