"Three related stitch patterns—- little diamonds, diamonds tweaked to form arrowhead-like shapes, and half-diamonds forming the traditional horseshoe pattern—- blend together here, forming a shawl that's prettier than the sum of its parts," says Briar. We almost fail to see how that could be, since her selected stitch patterns are so lovely; but it's true that the way she has combined them is enchanting, both fresh and harmonious. Briar just published a seminal book, Charts Made Simple; as you'd expect, the charts here are impeccable.
