The knitting is mysterious and important.

Welcome the newest severed employee to the Macrodata Refinement team with a shawl replicating the lobby and labyrinthine hallways of the SVR’D floor.

The knitting will make you uncomfortable, but you will learn to recognize the patterns in the stitches.

This shawl is worked in the round, from innie to outie. Um, inside to outside. A very long cast on establishes the length. Increases at each corner create the shape. Several textures and color interactions keep things interesting.

Your Outie is a knitter of taste and discernment.

If your Outie does not feel a connection to the designated colors, choose others that reflect their personal aesthetic.

Size: One size, 19” x 61” (48 cm x 155 cm)
