Notes: Alumina is a symmetrical triangle shawl, beginning at the wide edge and decreasing towards the point. The pattern consists of an upper half-circle row, a band of rhombuses worked individually between the half-circles, then a bottom half-circle row. Do not cut yarn between rows worked in the same colour, leave the yarn attached to the work and pick it up as needed. Rhombuses are reversible and the working direction will alternate with each repeat.
