About this Design
I’m a big fan of Estonian Shell stitch simply because it provides so much motion in the finished knitted fabric. It’s also perfect for a busy multi-dye yarn because the subtle shifts in stitch direction mean that the colours won’t pool. The tonal semi-solid blue yarn that I chose for my test knit sings beautifully with this stitch pattern. While I was knitting the test scarf, I often found myself pausing and contemplating the loveliness of the knitting rather than actually doing the knitting. The calm sense of tranquillity that this contemplation gave me was my inspiration for naming this delicate scarf.
