Cables serve as the framework for a suspended lace mesh traveling down the length of this innovative accessory. Combining simple, easily-worked elements into something entirely new, the scarf is inspired by Tudor-style windows, in which many small panes of glass are held together by strips of metal. Soft, blockable alpaca yarn lends both drape and warmth, while a simple picot edging adds a refined touch.
