This top-down triangular shawl with its simple zig-zag lines (in texture or lace, your choice) is a quick an easy knit. The beads in the border give it weight, and you can choose a contrasting color for an extra zing.

The textured chart works best in a solid or semi-solid color. The lace chart works well with a yarn with a little more color variation.

Samples were knit in both fingering and lace weight yarns, and the size of the shawl can be increased by repeating the body chart. A small fingering weight version uses less than 100g (430yd/393m), and a large lace version uses less than 100g (785yd/718m).
