With an artist’s eye to geometry and negative space, Calcarea embraces liberated design and dynamic structure. Shaped with a subtle curve, this modular scarf features blocks of stockinette stitch bounded by panels of garter framing. Worked from end to end, stitches are bound off to form the vents, creating swaths of open space amid the otherwise simple fabric. Knit this imaginative accessory in a neutral to emphasize shape or frame in bold tones to accentuate the striking fabric gaps.
