Vaski soi

The Vaski Soi shawl is a beautifully designed, slightly asymmetric triangular accessory that adds a unique touch to any outfit. This stunning piece is crafted in the shape of an arrow, starting from one corner and extending to the long edge on the opposite side, creating a visually striking silhouette. With four contrasting colors that enhance its beauty, the Vaski Soi shawl is perfect for knitters looking to explore color combinations. It also works wonderfully with shades that meld together, allowing for a smooth fade from one hue to another. The Finnish phrase vaski soi translates to the delightful sound of a brass instrument playing, embodying the rhythmic artistry of the knitting process.
