Description

From the book: "Even the most cursory examination will reveal that this pattern is simply the first half of Wave and Shield Pattern without its second half. It lacks the graceful waving curves of the Wave and Shield, therefore, and instead form abruptly truncated triangles. In Version II, the decreases are moved away from the center of the pattern, the purl stitches are eliminated, and the pattern comes very close to a Lace Chevron."
