Embla is a very simple garter stitch shawl, but because it is worked in a series of connected triangles and trapezes, the result is this unexpected shape. The idea is
that you can knit almost the entire shawl without having to count or look at the pattern, once you’ve learned the simple “rules” for each module.
The pattern can be worked in 2 sizes. The shawl in the photos is the large version.
