Despina Shawl
"Worked sideways with fingering weight yarn, Despina Shawl has a versatile and wearable asymmetric triangle shape. It starts at the point and grows into a triangular piece by increases along the edge. Because of the simple construction and easy lace, this shawl can be worked in almost any weight of yarn (except lace yarn) with just an adjustment in needle size.The stitches used are so simple that make this shawl perfect for adventurous beginners and more advanced crocheters as well."
