As waves approach the shoreline, underwater rocks, shoals, and other features change their shape and size. In this shawl, stitch patterns push and pull the rows of stitches into waves and ripples, much like underwater features make ripples on the surface of the water.

Making Ripples is an asymmetrical triangle shawl designed to let the changing colors of Junction Fiber Mill’s Making Tracks Lite take center stage. Two different stitch patterns alternate through the body of the shawl, keeping your interest as you knit.
