Tangy

This shawl is based on a pattern sometimes seen in woven leather. Both the warp and the weft increase, and then decrease in width, resulting in a subtle wave-like effect. Here, the idea is reproduced in knits and purls.

Make it a little narrower and you've got a great scarf, for both men and women.
