GEMMA

This top-down, triangular shawl incorporates squishy garter sections interspersed with rows of eyelets and finished off with a lace section that reminds me of a picture I recently found on my Pinterest feed of Thyme-Moss under a light microscope. GEMMA: Botany … a cell or cluster of (moss) cells …

The shaping of this shawl is shallower in depth by only increasing along the center spine every other right side row. 

Options for making a larger version or using lace weight are given.
