This scarf was inspired by the simple beauty of the movement of the lights in the sky caused by the random collisions of particles from the sun with the earth’s atmosphere. Throws of a die were used to recreate this random effect in the design of this scarf.

Aurora Boreale (Aurora Borealis in Italian) is a cozy infinity scarf entirely worked in brioche stitch in the round, alternating rows worked using only one color with rows worked in two-color brioche stitch. The result is an eye-catching garment featuring icy shades of white and blue.

When looking at the northern lights it appears that they are moving in many different directions. The lace pattern in this shawl was created to mimic that effect, creating many different lines for the eye to follow. This triangular shawl is knit from the top using a simple pattern and stitch markers.
