A whimsical cowl with a lace repeat moving upwards, reminiscence of water moving along the Rhine pebbles.
The lace repeat is simple to remember and it is slightly shifted to accentuate the waterfall effect. It is perfect to show off the subtle changes of hand dyed yarns, but it works magic even with industrial yarns.

Galets mean pebbles. I live in Alsace, nearby the river Rhine, which sets the border between France, Germany and Swiss, and represent a daily sight for our family.
