A fichu.
/ˈfiːʃuː/
noun: fichu; plural noun: fichus
A small triangular shawl, worn around a woman’s shoulders and neck (From Oxford Languages).
I was a bit stuck looking for a name for my little shawl and then I found this, isn’t the internet a wonderful place? I love how this fichu is so luxurious and soft, adding a bit of glamour to a casual or elegant outfit.

Worked from the bottom up, the fichu is started with one repeat of the main stitch pattern, a traditional Shetland lace pattern called “Cockle shell”. After completing one motif, two more are added on either side by backwards-loop cast-ons of 19 stitches; this process is repeated after completing each “Cockle Shell” pattern vertically.
