Shallow Tri Shawl

HeartStrings knitting pattern #H57

The wide-angle construction of this lace-bordered wrap results in a flattering cross between triangle shawl and long stole. The plain garter stitch center area allows the colors of hand-dyed yarns to be highlighted in a lacy garment in a simple, yet effective way.
