The shawl is a modular knit and constructed from hundreds of small diamonds – each with little hole in the middle. Even though it is knitted all in garter stitch, it is NOT an instant gratification project because it requires some concentration. However, it basically looks the same on both sides.

The pattern PDF is 15 pages long and contains:

– written row-by-row instructions for knitting this piece

– schematic of the construction, i.e. how the rhombuses stack up to create the shawl

– chart(s) of one rhombus

– a cheat sheet that summarizes the pattern on one page

– short photo tutorials for the following techniques: short rows with wrap and turn and picking up the wraps, crochet CO (at the edge of a knitted piece), backwards loop CO
