Indigo Crest

Indigo Crest is a top-down triangular shawl inspired by the crest of a wave touched by light.

It combines rhythmic Wave Lace and soft garter with eyelets to highlight the sheen of lace weight yarn. Beginning with a small cast-on, the shawl expands with a steady edge and spine increases into a fluid and elegant fabric.
