This pattern is published in 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing.

Heimweh is a triangular shawl worked in two-coloured double knitting from the bottom up. Two layers in contrasting colours are knitted at the same time, creating a completely reversible shawl with two stockinette stitch sides facing outwards. It features a colourwork section in every corner, and is inspired by the silk embroidered shawls of Swedish folk costumes. Frida Franckie wants to encourage everyone to try double knitting – it is a fun technique that offers almost endless possibilities.
