Feather and Fan is eternal—knitters ‘round the world know it well. Peg Blechman does the well-loved stitch pattern ample justice in Waves in Lace, a cozy stole in our wool/alpaca Owl. Worked sideways, the long, textural waves are balanced with garter stitch bands and borders, subduing the curving nature of this traditional Shetland motif into a straight-sided rectangle.
