The Prism Effect Shawl Pattern

"The Prism Effect is a warm and fun shawl featuring colorful triangles on a dark background with a play of colors that reminds me of light refraction through a prism. The shawl has a triangular shape obtained with a “twicely sideways” construction It is worked in consecutive vertical strips made of short row triangles joined as-you-go with no seams. Sounds difficult? Really, it isn’t. If you have worked short rows before, the only tricky part can be found in picking up sts to work the following strip (but this is done picking up one st in each selvedge, so it’s really simple!). Choose a neutral or a black(-ish) tone for the background and the most colorful sock yarn you have in your stash and start playing with this fun puzzle!"
