Inspired by the rich colors of 1960’s tapestry fabrics, this versatile garment can be worn as a scarf, shawl, cape, or poncho. The simple stitch repeat combines with long color shifts in the yarn to create a complex visual effect in an easy knit.

Thin toggle buttons and an open fabric allow for folding and fastening to create various shapes and styles.
