And here’s the illustrated description of Wabi-sabi shawls stitch pattern. It is known as Garter and Loops, 440 More Knitting Stitches: Volume 3 (The Harmony Guides) uses the name Little Crowns.

Knit two first rows of the pattern.

Third row is extended stitches. After one edge stitc (knit) wrap the yarn twice around the needle when knitting. Repeat to one stitch from the edge, knit 1.

On the fourth row the stitches are knitted three together as follows. Knit the edge stitch.

Move three stitches to the right needle and let those wraps loose.

Move extended stitches back to the left needle, don’t change the direction of stitches.

Now knit those three stitches together by k1, p1, k1. Repeat to edge stitch, knit. Amount of stitches should be thus dividable by three + 2 edge sts.

Sides of this pattern are not identical, but both are presentable.
