collaborative design by Olga Buraya-Kefelian and Stephen West
Olga and Stephen have very distinct design aesthetics, yet mutual admiration for the architectural style and unique stitch patterns have produced a collaboration with the resulting design that could have been designed by either, recognizing their kinship!
This semi-circular shawl is shaped top down in a radiating manner implementing colorful geometric slip-stitch bands. Pick between small or large versions to make the size that you will enjoy knitting and wearing the most!
