The VERSA shawl is the perfectly shaped triangular shawl with horizontal stripes. It is knit from the bottom up, starting at the apex and working toward the longest side, in an all-over four-row stripe pattern. All three sides of the triangular shawl are finished with a tubular edge in a contrasting highlight color.
The color changes for the stripes as well as the increases and the tubular edge finishing technique are all explained with photos or easy-to-follow video tutorials.

Sample 1 (red/lavender/yellow): 20 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in stockinette stitch, measured after blocking
Sample 2 (light grey / navy / pink): 16 sts x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in stockinette stitch, measured after blocking
