This triangular shawl is knit flat starting at the nape of the neck. It increases at six points to form long wings.

Version 1/5/2016 - Originally published.
Version 9/6/2016 - Page 5: Errata. Garter Section #4 should be 12 rows (not 22). In other words:
Rows 113-122 - switch to color A and work as for Garter #1 Rows 15-24. 10 rows and 5 garter ridges worked.
Row 123 - work as for Row 15
Row 124 - switch to color B and work as for Row 16.
Row numbers after that change appropriately.
Version 02/2021 - Updated layout and added additional photos.
