This pattern is available individually and as part of the Poseidon's Realm, Part One pattern collection.

A shallow triangular shawl that is perfect for wrapping up in or winding around your neck, thanks to its generous size. Named for Britomartis, a virgin huntress who was relentlessly pursued by the king of Crete, to escape him she leapt off a cliff into the sea. She was caught in fishermen’s nets and pulled to safety.

This shawl is worked from the bottom up. The pattern begins with a provisional cast on and working a small portion of the edging.
