Pattern notes
This shawl is knit in four modular sections. Wrapped and slipped stitches integrate a sharp contrasting line up a two-colour garter stitch mitered square. Next, round shapes are added to two sides of the square using short rows to form a quarter-circle. To one side of this piece, a long triangle is added, with a contrasting integrated i-cord edging.
