The pattern for this fantasy of lace, cables, mohair, and hand-dyed beauty was sitting in my drafts folder with the name “tbd” for so long that the name just stuck, and then I had to think of what it might stand for. So it will be your new favourite accessory for the next best day of your life (and there are so many to come!)

A subtle elongated trapezoid shape brings the elegance of crescent shawl shaping with the practicality of a rectangular scarf. Knit at a loose gauge, the merino and silk/mohair yarns create beautiful drape.
