Korallion

Reminiscent of dancing sea slugs, coastal surf and swaying sea grasses, the looping edges of Korallion flow in continuous waves to create a distinctive border to this cool-weather accessory. As the edges curl and layer, your inner siren will be protected from even the wildest tempest.

Formed in a simple triangle shape, Korallion can be made into a stylish neck warmer or shawl. It is worked sideways and the edging is added as you go. This keeps things beautifully basic and allows you to manage your yarn so that you don’t run out and can use every last metre.

Techniques

Working flat, basic shaping.
