Diagrid is a show-stopping lace shawl that combines simple lace and cable charts with intriguing construction to yield a distinctly modern, unfussy rendition of a classic accessory. This triangular shawl is worked flat from the top-down, increasing outward radially. The geometric lace panels are edged with crisp columns of stockinette that radiate outward and meet precisely along perfectly mitered corners, and a knit-on eyelet edge trim provides the perfect minimal finishing touch. Knit in a gossamer lace weight, Diagrid is a beautiful, heirloom-quality piece worthy of a wedding - yet perfectly at home worn over your favorite t-shirt.
