Nina’s Palmier is an elegant blend of ornate design and texture. Intricately twisted cables run the full length of this luxurious piece, punctuated by unexpected wrapped stitches. Knitted with Chickadee and Piper held together throughout and trimmed with a flat selvedge and (optional) fringe, this is one soft and cozy accessory you’ll be reaching for when days turn chillier. Shown here as a scarf, instructions are also provided for a wrap size—so you can easily adapt it to your taste. What’s more, you can swap out this cool, moody palette for lighter colors to achieve a completely different look.
