The symmetrical design is started in the middle with a provisional cast on, and there is no grafting or sewing up involved. The shawl can easily be made longer or shorter by increasing or decreasing the number of repeats of the boteh pattern in the middle area.

Below are close-up details of the botehs and paisleys, original lace motifs designed by Dorothy Siemens.
