Hanajima
Hanajima is worked from the thinnest end of the triangle and slowly increased until it is wide enough to add in the different panels of texture or lace. The directions are listed for two specific sizes that will take either three or four skeins of Sugarplum Circus Luxe Aran, but is easy to end whenever you feel it has grown large enough.
