Antiphonal

Antiphonal is a winged triangle shaped shawl knit modularly/seamlessly in two halves that reflect one another. There are four yarns in two coordinating colors of mohair and wool, but this shawl can work just as well with only one fiber type, or four (or more) different colors. Garter stitch, stripes, and simple eyelet lace make up the body of the shawl for simple potato chip knitting, and the border is finished off with a super cool squiggly icord.
