Grain Moon
After the heat of an August day, the moon rises fat and red on the horizon. In the fields, a gentle breeze sends the wheat stirring, the ripening heads bending to pay homage to the rising moon. The Grain Moon shawl is a crescent-shaped shawl worked from the top down with a textured pattern which recreates the effect of wind rushing over wheat fields. The textured pattern is worked on both the right and wrong sides of the shawl, making it completely reversible.
The yellow sample shawl is a size small and was worked in MadTosh Tosh Merino Light (colourway: Winter Wheat).
