Japanese Diamond Shawl is a triangular wrap that begins with a small i-cord cast-on. The i-cord selvedges and smocked Japanese lace grow from the cast-on. The final border is worked partly with short rows to create the wavy edge, and partly with an i-cord cast-off. Although the shawl is worked flat, circular needles are necessary to work the initial
rows, and to accommodate the final stitch count.
