My goal in creating this design was to use the intrigued cable stitches in a triangle shawl on both sides and smoothly merge the cables, creating a 90 degrees point.
This is a top-down decreasing shawl.
The shawl starts at the left corner and is put aside. After finishing the right corner, the stitches for the garter sts are cast on ( that will be the top edge of the triangle), then the stitches of the left corner are put back on the needle. The cables continued on both sides
and the garter stitches are decreased inside, to the bottom point of the shawl. Then the cables are merged with each other. All the stitch patterns are charted.
The I-cords go along the edges of the cables, they are included in charts. After finishing the shawl the stitches are picked up along the garter sts and the corners. They will be bounded off with the I-cord method. I added the tiny loops just to make the shawl more
interesting.
