Like a handful of color tossed into the air, Confetti is a celebration of texture, movement, and playful creativity. This top-down shawl pairs simple shaping with a mix of stitch patterns that shift and dance across the fabric, letting each section shine before giving way to the next.

Worked in a joyful blend of colors, whether a curated palette or treasured leftovers, Confetti invites you to experiment, improvise, and make it entirely your own. The open structure keeps it light and drapey, perfect for layering on a crisp morning or adding a pop of color to everyday wear.

No two versions will ever be quite the same, and that’s exactly the point!
