Unfolding beautifully combines twisted ribbing, geometric lace, elongated garter stitch and eyelets into a staple shawl. The triangular shawl is knit from the bottom up, i.e. you start with the wide side and decrease your way to the tip. This way, all the hard work (i.e. the longer rows) is done at the beginning, and the rows become shorter and quicker as the shawl grows!
