This shawl is named after Japanese artist Yayoi Kasuma. She is the top-selling female artist in the world. There is a documentary about her called Kusama: Infinity (2018) that tells her story.
The PIECE ITSELF… there is a polka dotted element to this patterning & a heart section in the center. The wrong side is also interesting. This is a combination accessory with the warmth of a scarf and the beauty and style of a cowl. It is knit lengthwise with increases in the style of a triangular shawl. A fun twist on an old standard.
