An ethereal “quiet luxury” shawl or scarf featuring a newly invented wave motif from knit/lab. The waves show up as shadows and highlights in a pleated structure, ebbing and flowing with movement and changes in light. The fabric is reversible and bouncy with a feathery embossed texture. Easily customizable to create a scarf, a shawl or a simple draped garment, the pattern can also be worked in a heavier yarn for more substantial projects.
