AXONOMETRIC

Axonometric is an extra-large triangular shawl, knit in delightfully squishy garter stitch with an allover graphic pattern of perforated lines created with eyelets. This shawl's straightforward, top-down construction and integrated garter stitch trims keep the focus on the mesmerizing lace pattern.
