Windswept Desert Knitting Pattern

designed by Mary E. Rose



The wind is a master artist. Swirls and curves, lines and circles, all crafted with precision in the desert sands as if the wind had been creating its own masterpiece. 

This crescent shawl mimics that shifting landscape along the bottom edge, with a (small) sand dune rising above the shifting patterns.
