Nebulae drifts softly, like a cloud of color suspended in space.
This shawl is worked in two colors of Tosh Merino Light, and it’s shaped like a crescent, though not a perfect one. It curves gently, with an irregular flow, as if following its own orbit.
I added a delicate lace pattern throughout, dotted with tiny eyelets like pinpricks of starlight.

This crescent shaped shawl is worked from the top-down. Increases are made on the ends, and short rows are used to create wedges, which give this shawl its unusual, asymmetrical shape.
