Slow Layers is a simple triangular shawl that grows steadily, row by row. Broken rib creates soft, raised ridges that read like gentle layers formed over time. Easy to customize and comfortable to wear, it works beautifully in almost any yarn for an all-season staple.
The broken rib texture is reversible, offering a beautiful look on both sides. While the color transitions are visible on the WS when using multiple colors, both sides have a unique charm that can be enjoyed.
