The Breezy Wave Scarf draws inspiration from the quiet rhythm of water and wind along the shoreline. It translates shoreline movement into knit form. Lightweight yet substantial enough to provide warmth, it works beautifully as a transitional piece or being that extra something an outfit might need to elevate it. Worked flat in stockinette, the scarf is framed with clean I-cord borders for structure and durability. A cascading applied ruffle, shaped with short rows, introduces sculptural movement and soft dimension along the edge. Drape it around your shoulders for comfort, tie it around your neck for warmth, at your hips as a hip scarf for layering or at your bag as any case accessory. The result is a piece that feels fluid, playful, and seasonally adaptable. The scarf is an excellent canvas for a multicolour or monochrome palette. A complimentary colour can be used for the border or choose one from the stripes.
