Inspired by many a painting and illustration of the stars, the Starlit Shawl features vignettes of different galaxies expanding and merging with one another. While worked entirely in the round, through the use of faux-seams, this shawl ends up with a double-sided fabric, giving it comforting weight and cushion when draped across your shoulders.
