Diamond Point mosaic shawl - PDF knitting pattern

Rows of interlocking diamonds parade across this asymmetrical triangular shawl. Diamond Point looks sophisticated, but uses easy mosaic knitting to make a fabulous color statement.

The short row border is optional along the entire bottom edge. Additional notes suggest ways knitters might play around with color choice and sizing.

Instructions are both written and charted.
