This arched shawl begins at the center with only a few stitches while yarn over increases quickly expand the shape. Garter stitch short row wedges add length to one side forming rays that gradually increase in size. The repetitive knit stitches and rhythmic short rows are easy to work while still keeping your interest, a perfect travel project! Built in I-cord edges and an I-cord bind off outline the entire shape for a clean finish. - Stephen West ~~~ For the 2021 Winter Solstice, we created a special colorway named 400 Stars. Mesmerized by the variety of shades, I decided to carry Frond (silk / mohair) in 400 Stars with Even Tinier Annapurna (merino / cashmere) in the colorway Lighthouse, and chose the gorgeous pattern Dotted Rays by Stephen West. I loved watching the tiny pops of yellow stars intermingle with swathes of violet and indigo blue. It really did feel like I was knitting the night sky. Dotted Rays, once you knit a few repeats, is easy to memorize. Before you know it, this project is off the needles and will be wrapped around your neck, keeping you warm. - Kristine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FINISHED MEASUREMENTS60“ / 152cm wingspan, 13" / 33cm longest part between I-cord edges.
