A narrow triangular scarf with a gentle V-shape at the centre and scalloped edges, this design draws on lace traditions reimagined without openwork for a more solid, modern feel. Organic, wavy shaping is accented with popcorn stitches, adding texture and a subtle nod to the warm spice that inspired its name.

This scarf is worked in two mirrored pieces, beginning at the narrow ends and working towards the center on a slight bias, then grafted together in a gentle V-shape. Worked mostly in Stockinette Stitch, the scalloped edges and curved lines are created with simple increases and decreases, punctuated by popcorn stitches for added detail.
