Dune Path
INFO
’Dune Path’ is inspired by the evanescent prints left in the sand as people walk to and fro between land and shore. This asymmetrical but nearly triangular shawl uses a combination of cables and geometric lace to produce an unusual pattern of lines and curves that open and close in a soothing rhythm.
Shown here in the color ‘Dawdle’ of Erica Knight’s Wild Wool, the accessory makes a striking impression with its all-over lace fabric, and as always, edges are neat and polished for a professional look.
Enjoy creating your own path through the dunes, whether with a quiet neutral or a vibrant color.
A stretchy bind-off provides a neat finish to the graphic design, which is easy to work from fully written-out directions with stitch counts, as well as a schematic and an easy-to-read chart.
