Cirruncinus is a combination of two words: Cirrus & Uncinus. In Latin, these words translate to “curly hooks” and what better way to describe the border of this shawl then as “curly hooks”. Knit sideways and composed of different shaping sections, this shawl is never boring! A quick knit, Cirruncinus can be worn as a traditional shawl wrapped around the shoulders or as a scarf around the neck for instant warmth on cool spring & summer nights.
