A ~wavy~ graphic take on a narrow scarf that highlights
the self-striping yarn with sculptural ripple tiers in a rhythmic
Old Shale stitch variation.

It’s worked from the bottom up, starting with a small number of stitches at the center and expanding outward in tiers. This is done using the Cable cast on method for clean, stable edges.

The pattern features a variation of the classic Old Shale stitch, with all increases and decreases grouped in one row, creating sculptural waves.
