Arctic Water
Arctic Water is the first of the three Arctic Aura haps that I designed in 2015. It is the squishiest and the heaviest in look of all those three haps.
Its cold blue paired with off-white resembles chilly weather and bright light of the northern waters- beautiful, dangerous, undiscovered and mysterious.
Other haps in the Arctic Aura set are Arctic Air and Arctic Land.

CONSTRUCTION
Built from inside to the outside, this hap has its centre square knitted diagonally back and forth in garter stitch with Cat’s Paw lace motifs. Based on that is the Old Shale wavy border made in the round and finished with a full version of the traditional peaked edging formed perpendicular to the border.
This hap requires blocking.
