The Atmosphere Shawl is a crescent shaped shawl inspired by Astronauts orbiting the Earth. Eyelets along the crescent arch represent the 16 moon and sun rises experienced in a 24 hour orbit of the Earth. The final color change represents the crossing of the Karman Line, dividing the Atmosphere from Space.
