But it's a weird pattern, or maybe it's just that I haven't done this particular varient of shawl/scarflet before. So, there are a lot of triangular shawls where the neckline is the hypotenuse, and the corner is the bottom of the back. And there are other shawls where there are increases as you go, to make batwings or a semicircle, or even more than 180 degrees of an arc (I think Faroese shawls are often like that). This is a very obtuse triangle, where there are a ton of increases at the sides, but none in the middle. So when you finish knitting, it's a very short wide triangle, but then you curve it as you block it so that the top of the triangle goes out flat, and the bottom flat edge curves. Does that make sense? Maybe it needs an illustration.
I guess this is the best way to get smooth curved stripes? But even after blocking, it secretly still wants to bunch up the fabric at the back of my neck, because it knows what shape it was when it was born.
