Our siren’s net doubles as the extra­­long, lush, airy scarf, ­shown at right.

Spread out, it’s a lovely coverlet over a white or solid color comforter. Jen, who knit the net, made it a mate and hung the pair as lacy curtains. Or use it as a room divider in a child’s sea­-­themed bedroom: spread and secure to rods at top and bottom, then suspend from the ceiling; use clothespins or paperclips to catch pictures and other small ­treasures.
