Designer’s note
The popular Japanese knitwear designer Eiji Tanuma (knittingbird.com) has come up with something very special for ITO: a shawl for spring that is an instant eye-catcher thanks to its color gradation and pleats. The pattern consists of garter stitch and single brioche stitches and is suitable for advanced beginners. The pattern is easily scalable for other dimensions (think wraps, blankets…). The combination of three shades of the same color creates a soft gradation. Thanks to the extensive color palette of ITO Kinu, there is something for every taste.
