Agrimonia Shawl

Agrimomia is a semi-circular shawl worked top down in bands of plain stockinette stitch set apart by  Latvian braids. It flares out into a wide border in traditional Old Shale pattern.

Latvian braids are mostly used on socks and worked in the round, however, they can just as easily be used on flat knitted projects.

A detailed photo tutorial is included in the pattern.
