Frontignan Shawl Pattern

By Suzanne Strachan

Frontignan shawl is a triangular shaped shawl knitted flat with unique construction. It consists of 4 sections, referred to as quadrants A through D, which are separated by dividing lines, 1 through 4. These quadrants and lines are worked sequentially, yet as one piece using short rows and without needing to pick up any stitches. The shawl is almost entirely knitted in garter stitch.
