This shawl does not have the traditional Estonian shape of a rectangle with a separately sewn-on lace edging but is in the more modern top-down triangle style, with a lace edging knitted as part of the shawl. Nupps and star stitches are used in abundance, giving the knitter lots of opportunities to practice these techniques!

This shawl, worked in Shibui Knits Cima, begins with a provisional cast on. It is then worked in the round with strategically placed increases to make a rectangular shawl. It accompanies the Fashion Framework article on Shawl Shapes.

Worked in Ancient Arts Yarn Fingering/Sock yarn, Dropped Petals is an asymmetrical crescent shawl worked in Garter stitch. Lace wedges are worked in short rows to mimic petals blowing in the breeze.
