Inspired by the effortless movement of birds riding the wind, Drift is a lightweight linen scarf featuring bands of airy ladder lace that create an open, flowing fabric. Beginning with a provisional cast on at the center, the scarf is worked flat and shaped outward toward each tapered end. Designed by Jennifer Kent and knit in Kestrel, Drift highlights Kestrel’s natural texture and incredible drape.

Whether tied at the neck or gathered into the hair, Drift is a lightweight companion for early morning walks, breezy afternoons, and adventures close to home.
