This pattern is no longer available.

Instead, please see my collaboration with Mason-Dixon Knitting and Jade Sapphire, Nesting Wrap, knitted in fingering weight cashmere.

Named after a song from Hadestown, Anais Mitchell’s folk opera about the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, Hey, Little Songbird is a brioche stole whose increases and decreases create the long curves of feathers at rest.
