INFO
’Dune Path’ is inspired by the evanescent prints left in the sand as people walk to and fro between land and shore. This asymmetrical but nearly triangular shawl uses a combination of cables and geometric lace to produce an unusual pattern of lines and curves that open and close in a soothing rhythm.

Shown here in the color ‘Dawdle’ of Erica Knight’s Wild Wool, the accessory makes a striking impression with its all-over lace fabric, and as always, edges are neat and polished for a professional look.

Enjoy creating your own path through the dunes, whether with a quiet neutral or a vibrant color.

A stretchy bind-off provides a neat finish to the graphic design, which is easy to work from fully written-out directions with stitch counts, as well as a schematic and an easy-to-read chart.
