Escalation
Escalation
This shawl is knit flat from the top corner across to the far edge to create a bias triangle. Three sets of stripes flow across the shawl. Each set of stripes is larger than the last, escalating in size from small to large. The shawl is designed to play with visual weight and texture. When worn, the stripes flow in different directions to create graphic interest from every direction.
