This arched shawl begins at the center with only three stitches while yarn over increases quickly expand the shape.

Garter stitch short rows add length to one side forming rays that gradually increase in size.
I-cord edges and an I-cord bind off outline the entire shape while you knit for a seamless finish.

This pattern is repetitive and a good candidate for take-along or travel knitting.  A very satisfying knit!    $36
