To create the asymmetrical triangle shape of shawl LILJA, you begin with a provisional cast-on on the 70 cm/27in edge and then work the lace pattern with decreases on one side only down to the tip (approx. 158 cm/62in). Then you work an i-cord edge along all three sides. With approx. 700 stitches on the needle that does take a while, but you will be rewarded with an edging that looks great from both sides.
