Bessarion Shawl

A cozy elongated triangle shawl worked from the point to the wide bind-off edge. The straight side features a column of leaves shaped with increases and decreases, and the remainder of the shawl is worked in a fun double yarnover lattice stitch, with applied I-cord edges. 


Shown in a soft and fluffy chunky-weight yarn for a quick and warm project.
