Delicate and ethereal, North Sea Mist is knit in two halves that radiate from the centre of the scarf out along the long axis. Formed by first adding stitches, then using short rows, the increases create a subtly curved crescent moon for each half. The veil stitch pattern produces a light and open fabric.
Mist is evoked in both the color and the sensual texture of ITO Sensai‘s mohair-silk and ITO Urugami‘s wool-paper yarns. Choosing the right yarn is crucial, so be sure to swatch to test which yarn and needle size works best to create the openness of the fabric.
