It really is an inspiration for me, and I have a couple more designs in the works as I speak (I hope to share them soon).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2308\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-288x300.jpg\" alt=\"Quest Shawl\" width=\"242\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-288x300.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-768x800.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-983x1024.jpg 983w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/quest-shawl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quest Shawl<\/a> is worked from a point with subtle increases working outward to form a triangle, in a pattern of lace stitches and textural stitches. This stitch difference is played with a contrasting color change and you have some very dramatic effects. It has a simple stitch pattern repeat, yet enough focus to keep the pattern entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>The long dimensions of this shawl, a staggering 77\u201dx45\u201d (196&#215;114 cm), it can lend itself to multiple ways to wear it, as well as offer a balanced feel. It was pointed out to me that this shawl actually manages to have enough length that when wearing it that the narrow point drapes evenly with a point on the opposite side. This may not seem like much, but I have noticed that smaller shawls of this type, almost feel like the narrow point can be a bit of a tail.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-narrow-on-top.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2314 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-narrow-on-top-158x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-narrow-on-top-158x300.jpg 158w, https:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-narrow-on-top-768x1456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-narrow-on-top-540x1024.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Quest-Shawl-narrow-on-top.jpg 1871w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 158px) 100vw, 158px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anzula.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The yarn is Haiku, a light weight 70% Superwash Merino\/20% Bamboo\/10 % nylon yarn, which is really soft and luscious<\/a>.
