| Job type | Test knit |
| Description | This shawl is knit from the left tip to the right edge growing to an asymmetrical triangular shawl. Seed stitch on either side is accentuated by slipped stitches to form a border between the edging and the shawl pattern. The knot stitch is offset to give the fabric a light texture. Crochet slip stitches are used along the final edge to mimic the knit slip stitches.
