This triangular shawl is a collaboration pattern with Tokyo Yarn Crawl 2025.

The name “Hiroka” (written in kanji as 広香) means “a fragrance that spreads richly.”
The shawl combines the image of this beautifully expanding scent with a visually delightful fan motif.

The shawl is worked in three sections: Body, Fan Pattern, and Edge.
It begins at the center of the base of an isosceles triangle and is worked back and forth, gradually increasing in size.

You can choose between two sizes — Small and Large.
