This crochet shawl starts at the top center and works its way back and forth in rows slowly forming a triangular shape. As you work, diamond motifs are slowly added on each end of the shawl and two motifs added in the center. The diamonds also slowly grow in width with each stitch repeat giving it a stunning radiating look as it drapes across your back or wraps around your waiste. If made in cotton or linen, it’s the perfect wrap for summer or covering a swimsuit. Make it in a warmer yarn like a mohair or wool and it will be perfect for keeping you cozy warm in the winter, too!
Finished Measurements 56 inches across the widest part of the shawl, 40 inches along each side, and 25 inches from the center to the point.
