Here’s a soft, frothy little crescent in one scarf and two shawl sizes (mini/petite/tall) that is destined to become a year-round wardrobe staple, despite its featherlight weight and appearance. Knit in exotic cashmere, musk ox, bison, or mink, the lofty folds of this piece will capture warmth around the head and neck on the coldest of days or provide a whispery layer over that strappy LBD on a midsummer evening. For the knitter, it’s a non-taxing and entertaining project that travels well and makes a lovely gift; you might need to make two!
