This is the fifth and final shawl in the Women of Sci-Fi Collection

A uniquely shaped shawl-wrap combo, inspired by Rachael from Blade Runner.

We start off with a classic triangular shawl, like the logo of the Tyrell Corporation where we first meet Rachael. We then start working on the bias, in a new direction…because what we see at first is not always what it seems.

During the film, we see Rachael start to almost soften and become more human, so we add a softer colour and introduce some lace and stripes.

The overall shape is as unique and interesting as Rachael herself.

You will need 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn, at least 400yds each. I chose yarns that reminded me of the neon lights of the city, and of Rachael’s coat she is wearing when she saves Deckard.
