Shawl Broriva 1

BRORIVA 1 is a gently flowing triangular shawl in broken rib pattern. It is worked top down, with knit stitches in right side rows and knit-purl stitches in wrong side rows.
Increases are made at the beginning and end as well as right and left of the centre of each right side row, so that the broken rib structure runs from the centre outwards and the triangle continues to develop. The coloured stripes run across the broken ribs. A picot edge gives the shawl a refined finish.
