That’s when the name came to me: Kryla - wings. in Ukrainian.
I already wrote the pattern and opened the test for it! If you're interested, please follow this link: www.yarnpond.com/pattern_test...

It’s an unusual technique, combining i-cord and picots but it echoes the rest of the shawl beautifully.
Sometimes, the right match isn’t what you expect 😁

I wish I could say I saw this coming, but really, I just followed the knitting. Sure it surprised me!
And I’m deeply grateful that this shawl, made for Ukraine, turned out this way. It feels like the knitting knew how important it was.

I’m loving how the colors play together, holding each other up row after row.🧶
Bonus: when you roll it up, it looks like a sunflower. Totally unplanned, but I’ll take it. 🌻

Today I had a doubt and... 😡arghhh 🤬! This is NOT a triangle! 
Now I'll have to frog the entire thing and start again. This time I'm going to try with 6 increases every 4 rows. Let's hope I'll get it right this time!

The shape is definitely not what I wanted to achieve. Maybe it's the way the garter stitch is worked that results in a larger and shorter than usual fabric...mmmhhh, now I have to frog, re-chart and start again from zero🤬

Taraxacum is a top-down semicircular shawl started with an i-cord tab, then shaped by increases alternatively positioned after the branches/lines of slipped stitches. Lateral i-cords give a finished look with no effort.

Love it!
