PATTERN NOTES
The Rivan shawl begins with ten small triangles, worked from the center outward, which create the zigzag shape of the rest of the shawl. These triangles are joined together, and the shawl is worked lengthwise for the remainder.
Stitch markers act as reminders for the turning points of the shawl. Consider using two different colours of stitch markers—one to mark the increases at the peaks of the triangles and the other to mark the decreases in the valleys.
When switching back and forth between yarn colours, carry the other yarn up the side of the work if it will not be used for two rows. Otherwise, break the original yarn when joining the next colour.
The stitch patterns are both written (see Stitches Used) and charted (see p 4) for your preference.
