Knit your own Elegantly Simple Triangle Shawl using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

Elegantly Simple Triangle Shawl is knitted in one of those lovely laces based on the Shetland feather and fan stitch. There is so much movement and interest in the pattern that it may look more difficult to do than it really is. Starting at the tip of the shawl and increasing to whatever width you want, it becomes a lovely fanshaped neck scarf, shoulder wrap, or full-size shawl. The bound-off long edge can be finished in your choice of dramatic points or graceful scallops.

Size to desired length/width (length will be half of width). Guidelines for laceweight yarn -- 200 yards for 32" wide neck scarf size, 600 yards for 54" small shoulder wrap, 1000 yards for 72" full size shawl, 6 stitches/inch, size US 5 / 3.75 mm needles suggested. Easily adjusts to other weights of yarn with corresponding adjustment in needle size and yardage. Charted and written stitch instructions.
