Wave is a shawl shaped like an asymmetrical triangle. Its longest, smooth side contrasts with the zigzag edge of the other side. A simple, yet clever shaping method will make crocheting this original shape a breeze.

Wave provides a superb display for your gradient and slow striping yarns. You may also want to work it in a single colour that will underline the shape.

This design is worked for one side tip to the other. It has a wingspan of approx 170 cm/67" along the upper edge and is approx 50 cm/19.75" wide at its widest point.

The pattern is written with charts.

You will need approximately 650 m/710 yds of fingering weight wool yarn to make Wave. The blue shawl in the photos was made in a custom-dyed yarn which is currently unavailable.

You can also make a cotton version - the shawl in orange hues in the pictures was worked with 3 balls of the organic multicoloured cotton available in the shop. Make sure to follow the instructions for the cotton version to avoid running out of yarn.
