Notes:

Aljusa is a sideway knitted triangle shawl, with an icord edge on side.

I designed this shawl as a present, for two beloved friends. They are knitters too and support me with ideas,
criticism, suggestions and testknits.
The name Aljusa, are the first two letters of our surnames Alexandra, Jutta and Sanne.
Thank you for your friendship.
Alexandra, Jutta, Claudia and Kerstin thank you very much for testknitting Aljusa. ❤💜💚
