Porto connection

Description

Porto connection is worked flat, increasing along one edge to create a slightly asymmetrical triangle. Stitches are increased in pattern and then onward into the 1×1 ribbing. Theslip stitch stripe design means that you only work with one color on any given row. The combination of easy slip stitch pattern stripes and the ribbing give this shawl a sophisticated yet casual look.
