Itbe
ITBE is a light summer shawl, knit up in a unique Japanese cotton tape yarn. To make this shawl you must embrace the Japanese concept of “wabi-sabi”; the idea that beauty lies in imperfection.
Itbe is May's shipment for Lola’s Choice (Laura’s super fun small knitted kit club).
There are now kits in 6 colors available here.
The pattern includes an in depth video tutorial with an extra special blocking sequence!
