CONSTRUCTION

• This shawl is constructed by knitting the center triangle first. The Center Triangle starts with 1 stitch. Stitches are increased by working a yarn over (YO) at the beginning of every row. Stitches are then picked up from the yarn over loops on the edges of the Triangle, and the remainder of the Shawl is worked outwards in a textured pattern.
